The New York Times cited conversations with Democrats, family friends, union leaders and campaign staff saying the campaign suffered high turnover, skipped strategy meetings and included odd episodes — from an alleged nap on launch day to long unexplained absences and trips to swim or paddleboard in the Hudson.
Schlossberg denied key details on CNN, calling parts of the article untrue and mocking the nap anecdote on Instagram with a staged photo and playful captions. He defended his record and said opponents are upset because his campaign is the frontrunner as early voting nears.
