Petition Against Hakeem Jeffries as US House Speaker Cites Private Meeting with Jared Kushner
Over 600,000 people have signed a petition urging House Democrats to oppose Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker of the US House. The petition, launched by Nicole Whitted, calls for a competitive speaker election and questions Jeffries' record and leadership. A New York Times report revealed Jeffries met privately with Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, discussing potential cooperation on issues like housing and immigration. This meeting has become a focal point in opposition to Jeffries' speakership bid, though Jeffries emphasizes the need for transformational policy change on affordability.
