Democrats reacted with incredulity to a New York Times report that House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries met with Jared Kushner to discuss possible collaboration, a development viewed as significant ahead of midterm elections that could give Democrats a House majority and oversight powers over the Trump administration. Jeffries framed any potential cooperation around affordable, transformative policy, while critics highlighted Kushner’s financial ties to Gulf nations and pressed for documents and subpoenas; not all Democrats have taken a confrontational stance, with some, like Gretchen Whitmer, favoring collaboration with Trump.
