Brimming with self-confidence, the first son-in-law is attempting two of the heaviest lifts in politics.
Kushner also viewed the conclusion of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe as a personal victory and a green light to ramp up his public presence in D.C., allies say. His longshot policy efforts have the blessing of acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, who made clear when he took the reins from Kelly that he would not get in Kushner’s way.
With think-tank experts, among diplomats, and on Capitol Hill, where senators say they talk to him as much as they talk to the president himself, Kushner has become a ubiquitous presence. He is constantly convening meetings of subject-matter experts in the conference room off of his office in the West Wing, and he seems to understand it’s exciting for many of these people to get an invite to the White House — so exciting it just might help win them to his side.
But immigration reform and Middle East peace present far higher hurdles than criminal justice reform, and some lawmakers are already calling Kushner’s efforts dead on arrival. Kushner himself acknowledges the long odds, too. “What we observed during the shutdown was that everyone on the Republican side was willing to say what they were against but nobody was willing to say what they were for,” said a senior administration official.
