The polling AND betting markets ARE in agreement that voters WILL allow the Democrats to take the majority in the US House ….
Current Democratic Minority Leader , NY Rep. Hakeim Jeffries will be the new US House Speaker….
It should be NO surprise that Jared Kushner HAS met with Jeffries….
Jeffries will be scheduled to meet with Trump’s Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles…..
President Trump , who has apparent health issues, IS gonna be in a completely different place fro the last two years of his term….
He will also have to deal with a Republican running for votes to succeed him in office….
Out of office and for the next two years?
Donald IS gonna be in even MORE political and legal fights…
Trump sometimes does NOT care about how things play politically, eh?
In the early dealings?
Democrats , led by Jeffries, IS gonna be looking for personnel changes among Trump cabinet members….
That will probably NOT be fought by Vance and Rubio, who will need less negative media generated by the likes of Pete Hegseth and Stephen Miller…..
We’ll see….
But ?
Like other President’s of both parties?
The last two years of their terms brings a REALITY on how fleeting their time in office actually IS with a new general election on the horizon….
The politics move away from them….
Representative Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat of New York and the minority leader, met privately in recent weeks with Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and top outside adviser, and discussed potential areas of common ground, according to five people with knowledge of the meeting.
The 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.
Through 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.
Democrats and the president have been savaging each other on the campaign trail with increasing fury as the midterm elections approach, and as Republicans are fighting to retain their thin House and Senate majorities….

Update….
Current Republican House Speaker chimes in on his being set aside by Trump & Co.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Sunday downplayed the reported meeting between Jared Kushner and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.).
“I don’t know what that’s about. I know Jared has interest in lots of other things going on,” Johnson told host Peter Doocy on Fox News’s “The Sunday Briefing.”
“He’s not really directly involved in the admin, at least in the day-to-day in the White House,” the Louisiana Republican added of Kushner, who is also President Trump’s son-in-law.
The New York Times reported Sunday that Kushner and Jeffries recently met in New York City to talk about areas of common ground….
