Jeffries-Kushner Meeting Sparks Democratic Backlash
🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
Jeffries is gathering intel on the Trump administration's weak spots while keeping his options open for a potential speaker role.
💡 Why it matters
This meeting could fracture Democratic unity on oversight investigations if Jeffries becomes speaker after the midterms.
House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries met privately with Jared Kushner to discuss potential collaboration, drawing criticism from Democrats including Senator Chris van Hollen and former Obama aide Tommy Vietor ahead of the 2026 midterms.
