Jared Kushner meets with Democratic leader Jeffries with House control at stake in November

WASHINGTON (AP) – House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries and President Donald Trump's son-in-law and outside adviser Jared Kushner met privately lately in New York, a signal that the White House is seeking ways to work with Democrats if they wrest majority control.

What happened

In practice, the session, first noted Sunday by The New York Times, touched on problems ranging from housing, immigration to the high costs of living. Individuals in the United States are struggling under inflationary costs that Democrats blame on Republicans, alongside Trump, for failing to obtain under control.

Kushner suggested that Jeffries. This person is in line to become House speaker if Democrats regain power in November, meet with White House chief of staff Susie Wiles as a follow-up.

Jeffries, in an official note Sunday, did not mention the private conversation but remarked the Republican administration needed to drop the GOP's "my-way-or-the-highway" approach that "has failed the American people."

The bottom line

Taken together, the developments around jared Kushner meets with Democratic leader Jeffries with House control at stake point to a situation that is still moving, and the coming days should bring more clarity.
