According to two people familiar with this meeting, US House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries and President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner have held private meetings in recent weeks. Sources said Jeffries and Kushner discussed a number of topics, including potential directions where the two sides can reach consensus. Although Kushner has no official office in the current administration, he is still deeply involved in government affairs, focusing in particular on matters related to foreign policy, and continues to serve as an external adviser to the president. The timing of this meeting is very interesting: there are less than 75 days left until the midterm elections, and several polls show that the Republican Party is facing headwinds. The Democratic Party is cautiously optimistic about regaining control of the House of Representatives. If so, Jeffries is expected to become the next Speaker of the House.
