Now a new report in The New York Times offers another clue into the GOP reading the writing on the wall \u2014 namely, a private meeting between Trump\u2019s son-in-law and the Democrat poised to be House Speaker if Democrats retake that legislative chamber.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextaddressamerica.com\/?p=5208\">Army veteran reveals Trump\u2019s failure to grasp \u2018common sense\u2019 basics<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cRepresentative Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat of New York and the minority leader, met privately in recent weeks with Jared Kushner, President Trump\u2019s son-in-law and top outside adviser, and discussed potential areas of common ground, according to five people with knowledge of the meeting,\u201d reported The New York Times&#8217; Maggie Haberman and Annie Karni on Sunday. \u201cThe rare engagement was held in a private space in New York City, offered up by a mutual friend of the two men, according to two people with knowledge of the meeting and a third who was briefed on it. They and others were granted anonymity to discuss a meeting about which they were not authorized to speak publicly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Haberman and Karni added, \u201cThrough aides, neither man would comment on the session, which was described by one person with knowledge of it as a broad conversation on a range of topics. Still, its timing underscored that those around Mr. Trump were well aware of the likelihood of a Democratic-led House, and trying to foster as much of a working relationship as possible before any change. Mr. Jeffries is in line to be the speaker, were Democrats to win the majority.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jeffries and Kushner reportedly discussed a wide range of issues including the cost of living, housing and immigration. Both apparently believe that Trump\u2019s chief of staff, Susie Wiles, is the MAGA insider most amenable to compromising with the other party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThroughout this Congress, Republicans have adopted a my-way-or-the-highway approach to governing that has failed the American people,\u201d Jeffries told the Times in a statement that did not explicitly confirm the Kushner meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextaddressamerica.com\/?p=5206\">Trump\u2019s devious legal trick to force a Supreme Court win<\/a><\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cIn every conversation that we have with the Trump administration, we will continue to make it explicitly clear that the affordability crisis is not a hoax, and nothing short of transformational policy change is acceptable. We are fighting for an affordable America. The question is whether Republicans will join us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Times added that nothing from the meeting is yet official.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShould Democrats win the House, Mr. Jeffries would have to balance the need to keep the government funded with Democratic calls to defy Mr. Trump at every turn, and possible pleas to impeach him for a third time,\u201d the Times wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The reporters added, \u201cMr. Jeffries and Mr. Trump have danced around questions about what their relationship could look like next year should Democrats take control.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextaddressamerica.com\/?p=5205\">Trump is stark raving mad \u2014 and this proves it<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new report in The New York Times offers another clue into the GOP reading the writing on the wall<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5209,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5210","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
