Kushner-Jeffries meeting signals bipartisan outreach

House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries and Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law and outside adviser, met privately in New York, as first reported by The New York Times. The meeting touched on housing, immigration, and the high cost of living, with Democrats blaming Republicans and Trump for inflation. Kushner suggested Jeffries meet with United States — White House chief of staff Susie Wiles as a follow-up. Jeffries did not mention the meeting publicly but called for an end to the GOP's 'my-way-or-the-highway' approach. House Speaker Mike Johnson downplayed Kushner's role and expressed confidence in Republican chances. The meeting signals United States — White House efforts to work with Democrats if they gain House majority in the November midterms, potentially leading to aggressive oversight and impeachment threats.
