Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and close adviser, recently met with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to discuss ways the White House can collaborate with Democrats on key issues, a source familiar with the meeting told CNN on Sunday.
The pair gathered privately in New York to discuss such key issues as immigration, housing and the cost of living, the source said. Kushner and Jeffries had previously worked together on The Step Act, a law passed with bipartisan support in 2018 that sought to reduce the federal prison population by, among other things, easing mandatory minimum sentencing requirements for certain violations.
During their meeting, which occurred several weeks ago and was first reported by The New York Times on Sunday, Kushner suggested that Jeffries should also meet with White House chief of staff Susie Wiles.

Yeah but also it's your fault for not voting for whatever party didn't win the election last time

No, this is Jeffries and Kushner, not democrats to their voters.
They probably talked about how best to murder Palestinians.

The real takeaway here is that Jeffries will happily compromise with MAGA before even considering a compromise with the left wing of his own party. If your personal politics are to the left of Kissinger, you have no business staying in their right wing party.
