Hakeem Jeffries and Jared Kushner met privately to discuss issues including housing, immigration and the cost of living. The meeting comes as both parties prepare for the midterm elections and the possibility that Democrats could regain control of the House.
House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries and Jared Kushner, an adviser to President Trump, met privately in New York. Kushner suggested Jeffries meet with White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. Jeffries said the administration should abandon its “my-way-or-the-highway” approach, which he said had failed the American people.
House Speaker Mike Johnson played down Kushner’s role and said Republicans should not be counted out. The article says a Democratic House majority could bring more oversight of the administration, while Republicans are relying on Trump’s popularity and a slim House majority as they face competitive midterms.
