Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, met privately in recent weeks, according to two people familiar with the meeting.
Jeffries and Kushner discussed an array of topics, including possible areas of common ground, the sources said. Although Kushner does not have an official role in the current administration, he has remained deeply involved, especially on issues related to foreign policy, and continues to serve as an outside adviser to the president.
The timing of the talks is striking. The midterms are less than 75 days away and Republicans are facing headwinds in recent polls. Democrats feel cautiously optimistic about their chances of taking the House and Jeffries would be in line to be the next speaker.
Hes in litithe safest district in America for Dems…
And his last primary was this season and the state party cancelled it when no one challenged him.
No one.
It was literally months ago, and no one ran against him. Granted a lot of it’s very wealthy, but redistricting in 2023 means he’s vulnerable to the left.
But he has no chance of losing the general, he’s not doing any of this to win his election.
And this isn’t “for the greater good” either it’s to maintain neoliberalism even if it means helping trump
You’re not wrong about any of that, but if the progressive wing wins a significant minority of a Dem majority, Jeffries’ days as Speaker are numbered, IMO.
