BREAKING: WRITING ON THE WALL: Jared Kushner secretly meets Hakeem Jeffries as Trump’s inner circle prepares for Republicans to LOSE THE HOUSE!
Donald Trump’s inner circle is apparently making plans for something Republicans insist out loud isn’t going to happen: Speaker Hakeem Jeffries.
Trump son-in-law and kitchen cabinet member Kushner secretly met with Jeffries in New York in recent weeks to discuss potential areas of cooperation if Democrats take control of the House, according to a new NYT scoop.
The Times reports that the meeting’s timing showed that those around Trump are “well aware of the likelihood of a Democratic-led House” and are trying to establish a working relationship before November’s midterms
Kushner and Jeffries discussed housing, immigration and the cost of living, but Kushner went a significant step further, suggesting that Jeffries meet next with Trump’s powerful White House chief of staff, Susie Wiles.
That’s quite a contrast with Trump’s public treatment of the Democratic leader. He’s called Jeffries a “thug” and “low IQ,” mocked him with a racist AI-generated sombrero meme.
Behind closed doors, his own inner circle is accepting the reality of defeat and preparing to work with Jeffries as speaker.
House Speaker Mike Johnson sounded less than thrilled when Fox News asked him about the meeting Sunday, dismissing Kushner as someone who “hedges his bets.”
“I’m telling you what, you better not bet against the House Republicans,” Johnson insisted.
But that is precisely what the fearful minion Kushner appear to be doing.
Nearly every poll cited by the Times currently puts Republicans at a disadvantage in the midterms, and losing the House would expose Trump to aggressive Democratic investigations and congressional oversight.
For his part, Jeffries has already promised to “hold the crooks accountable” if Democrats take power.
Republicans can keep publicly predicting victory all they want. Jared Kushner is already secretly sitting down with the man who gets the speaker’s gavel if they lose. That tells us all we need to know.
Let’s make this come true by helping Democratic candidates win in November.
