TOPLINE

Supermodel Karlie Kloss, who is married to Jared Kushner’s brother, will take part in an event about women working in science, technology, engineering, art and math fields hosted by the Biden campaign this week, where she’ll tout the former vice president’s agenda for women and post-high school education, drawing on her experience as the founder of the girls coding program Kode With Klossy.

KEY FACTS

Key background

Speculation about Kloss’ relationship with the Kushers mounted early this year after a clip of her on Project Runway went viral. When a judge told a contestant who was tasked with designing a dress for her it didn’t look like something she would wear, he responded with “Not even to dinner with the Kushners?” Kloss later told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live, “I’m sure I’m not the only person in this country who does not necessarily agree with their family on politics. I voted as a Democrat in 2016 and I plan to do the same in 2020.” Kloss also said she was “honored to be one of the first memes of the decade.” 

Tangent

Jared reportedly asked Kloss’ emergency physician father, Kurt Kloss, to seek out doctor recommendations for the federal coronavirus response, the New York Times reported in March.
