The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries privately met in recent weeks with Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and outside adviser, as control of the House looms over the midterm elections. The two discussed potential areas where a Democratic-led House and the White House could cooperate, including housing, immigration and high living costs. The meeting drew criticism from Democrats and liberal commentators who argued Kushner should face oversight rather than serve as a negotiating channel. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he would support Jeffries for speaker if Democrats retake the House.
