Jared Kushner’s private meeting with Hakeem Jeffries sparks fresh questions over Trump’s midterm strategy as Democrats eye control of the House in November. Kushner and Jeffries reportedly discussed housing, immigration and the cost of living, with Jeffries potentially becoming House Speaker if Democrats win the majority. Now, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani weighs in as the secret Kushner-Jeffries meeting fuels speculation over a possible Democratic House takeover and Trump’s next move.

If Democrats were to retake control of the House, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) would be the first in line to become speaker.

Critics include Senator Chris van Hollen, ex-aide to Obama Tommy Vietor and ex-Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger
