Jared Kushner has confirmed that he will not be part of President Donald Trump’s next administration, news that has been met with relief by many conservatives. His absence is viewed by critics as a chance for Trump to refocus his efforts on delivering the promises that resonated with his base during his first campaign.
Kushner played a significant role in Trump’s first term, particularly in foreign policy. His leadership in brokering the Abraham Accords, which established ties between Israel and several Arab nations, was a notable achievement. However, his influence on domestic issues, such as criminal justice reform, has drawn criticism from conservatives who felt these policies strayed from Trump’s America First agenda.
This is the best news I have heard today.
None of the old team.
Well Bannon would be nice or Flynn.
But nobody else.

Instead of a formal role, Kushner is expected to provide informal advice on Middle East matters. Trump’s team is reportedly considering candidates like Victoria Coates and Miguel Correa for leadership positions in the region, signaling a potential departure from Kushner’s approach.
Kushner’s absence from the administration also comes as his financial ties remain under scrutiny. His $3 billion investment fund, heavily backed by Gulf states, has sparked concerns among conservatives about potential conflicts of interest and distractions from the administration’s priorities.
And no Jared Kushner, either!

For Trump’s supporters, Kushner’s confirmation that he will not be in the administration is seen as a positive development. Many believe it creates an opportunity for the president to assemble a team more focused on implementing his campaign promises, such as stronger immigration policies and reducing foreign influence on U.S. policy.
The announcement has been met with optimism from conservatives who see this as a fresh start for Trump’s next term. They hope the president’s new team will better reflect the priorities of his base and the America First agenda.
Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, will not return to the White House in the new administration but could advise on Middle East policy, according to people familiar with the matter.
