Conservatives See Opportunity As Kushner Confirms He Won’t Be In Trump Administration

Jared Kushner has confirmed he will not take a role in President Donald Trump’s next administration. For many conservatives, this announcement represents an opportunity for Trump to realign his team with the America First values that defined his 2016 campaign.

During Trump’s first term, Kushner was a senior adviser and played a key role in foreign policy initiatives like the Abraham Accords. These agreements normalized relations between Israel and several Arab states, earning widespread praise. However, his involvement in domestic policies like criminal justice reform drew criticism from conservatives who believed these efforts departed from Trump’s core promises.

Kushner’s absence from the administration is seen as a chance to reset priorities. Trump’s team is reportedly considering other candidates for key Middle East roles, such as Victoria Coates and Miguel Correa, both of whom are viewed as more closely aligned with Trump’s base.

Kushner is still expected to provide informal advice on Middle East policy, leveraging his close ties with Gulf and Israeli officials. However, conservatives hope that new voices in the administration will dominate decision-making and reflect the president’s campaign goals more clearly.

Adding to the context of Kushner’s absence are ongoing concerns about his $3 billion investment fund, which is heavily financed by Gulf sovereign wealth funds. Critics have pointed to these financial ties as a potential source of distraction and conflict.

For Trump’s base, Kushner’s confirmation that he will not join the administration signals a step toward building a team more closely aligned with their priorities. Many conservatives see this as an opportunity to deliver on the promises that brought Trump to the White House.
