Last month, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries came under significant fire after The New York Times reported that he met with President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner. It particularly irritated some Democrats because Democrats hope to investigate Kushner and the rest of the Trump family, particularly looking into any ways they benefited financially from their closeness to the president.
Jeffries had to respond by saying, “Nobody is going to get a pass.” But the meeting illustrated an uncomfortable truth: If Democrats do win back the House of Representatives, let alone the Senate, they will go from being the opposition that regularly criticizes Trump to having to govern with him.
