Conservatives Applaud Kushner’s Confirmation He Will Not Join Trump Administration

Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and a prominent figure in his first administration, has confirmed that he will not take a role in Trump’s next administration. This announcement has been met with widespread approval from conservatives, who have long questioned Kushner’s influence on key policy decisions.

Kushner played a significant role in Trump’s first term, particularly in foreign policy. He spearheaded the Abraham Accords, which established diplomatic ties between Israel and several Arab states, a move widely praised as historic. However, many conservatives have criticized his handling of domestic policies, such as criminal justice reform, arguing that it deviated from Trump’s America First platform.

While Kushner will not hold an official position, reports indicate he may continue to provide informal advice on Middle East policy. Trump’s transition team is reportedly exploring new candidates for these roles, including Victoria Coates and retired Major General Miguel Correa, signaling a shift toward a more populist and nationalist approach.

Kushner’s absence also comes amid scrutiny of his financial dealings. His $3 billion investment fund, financed largely by Gulf sovereign wealth funds, has raised concerns among conservatives who see these ties as a potential conflict of interest. Critics have argued that such distractions could have interfered with Trump’s agenda.

For many in Trump’s base, Kushner’s decision to confirm his absence marks a fresh start. They view it as an opportunity for Trump to assemble a team that is more closely aligned with the campaign promises that defined his rise to the presidency in 2016.

Trump’s supporters are optimistic that this move will lead to a sharper focus on issues like immigration, trade, and reducing the influence of globalist elites. Many see this as a step in the right direction as Trump prepares for his next term.
