Jeffries-Kushner Talks Signal Possible Democratic Shift Ahead of Midterms

Democratic House Leader Hakeem Jeffries met with Jared Kushner in recent weeks, signaling that aides close to the president may be preparing for at least one chamber to flip to Democratic control as the midterms near. The discussions reportedly touched on housing, immigration and affordability, with Jeffries indicating Democrats are willing to work with Republicans—but only on their terms if they win. The White House did not comment publicly, and Kushner remains a key outside adviser.
