Jeffries and Kushner meet in private as Democrats eye House control

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Jared Kushner held a private meeting to identify bipartisan common ground on immigration, housing, and cost of living. This interaction occurs as Democrats seek to retake control of the House in November, which would potentially make Jeffries speaker. However, the meeting sparked incredulity among critics, including Senator Chris van Hollen and Adam Kinzinger, especially since Democrats intend to use future oversight powers to investigate the Trump administration for self-enrichment.
