Jared Kushner, a prominent adviser during President Donald Trump’s first administration, has confirmed he will not hold a role in the next administration. This confirmation has been met with approval by many conservatives, who see his absence as a chance for Trump to refocus on his America First policies.
As a senior adviser, Kushner played a key role in foreign policy, including negotiating the Abraham Accords. These agreements normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nations and are considered one of the administration’s major achievements. However, conservatives have often criticized his influence on domestic policies, particularly those they viewed as inconsistent with Trump’s campaign promises.
This is the best news I have heard today.
None of the old team.
Well Bannon would be nice or Flynn.
But nobody else.

Reports suggest Kushner will not hold an official position but may provide informal advice on Middle East matters. Trump’s team is reportedly vetting candidates like Victoria Coates and Miguel Correa for leadership roles, signaling a shift toward individuals with stronger alignment to the president’s base.
Kushner’s business dealings, including his $3 billion investment fund backed by Gulf states, have drawn criticism from some conservatives who questioned potential conflicts of interest. His absence from the administration is seen by many as a step toward reducing distractions and refocusing on Trump’s agenda.
And no Jared Kushner, either!

For Trump’s supporters, Kushner’s confirmation represents a fresh opportunity to prioritize the promises that resonated with voters in 2016. Many hope this will result in stronger policies on immigration, trade, and reducing foreign influence on U.S. governance.
As Trump prepares for his second term, conservatives are optimistic that the absence of Kushner from the administration will help create a team that is more in tune with the priorities of his base and the America First movement.
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.
