Donald Trump Son-in-Law Jared Kushner Says He Will Not Join 2nd Trump Administration Should Ex-POTUS Win

Jared Kushner, husband of Ivanka Trump and former President Donald Trump's son-in-law, confirmed he would not join a second Trump administration should his father-in-law win in November against incumbent President Joe Biden.

Trump previously received much backlash for appointing Kushner to several crucial government roles, with the president being accused of nepotism as Kushner and Ivanka received high positions within the Trump White House.

Kushner acted as a senior adviser to his father-in-law, who assigned him to deal with various important issues, from handling the opioid epidemic to even brokering peace in the Middle East. Given what is happening right now on those two issues, Kushner did not live up to his father-in-law's expectations.

"I've been very clear that my desire at this phase of my life is to focus on my firm," the former Trump adviser told Axios in an interview during a summit in Miami. "I've really enjoyed the opportunity as a family to be out of the spotlight. Both my wife and myself were working in the White House, which is a 24/7, high-stakes job, and so we both really enjoyed the opportunity to be down here in Florida with the kids."

This prompted Axios business editor Dan Primack to ask, "Is that a no? If [Trump] calls you on November whatever and says, 'I'd like you to come back to D.C.,' you say, 'Thanks, but I'm good'?"

"Yes," the Trump son-in-law and New York businessman replied. "You know, from my perspective, again, if you look at the way President Trump has been handling his campaign this time, this is his third time doing it. And he's had time to really reflect on everything. I think that the team around him is maybe the best he's had."

He added that he suspects that there will be a "very, very long list of very qualified people to choose from" if Trump is ever elected again in November.

Donald Trump Endorsing Daughter-in-Law as RNC Chair

Donald Trump is repeating his nepotism playbook as he wants his own daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, wife of Eric Trump, to replace disgraced RNC chair Rona McDaniel. This move would effectively make the former president even more powerful within the party, which has been divided between factions loyal to him and against him.

The Guardian noted that he is also backing other loyalists to chair the RNC, including Michael Whatley, chair of the North Carolina Republican party, as committee co-chair with Lara, as well as senior adviser Chris LaCivita as its chief financial officer. This move is reportedly an attempt to quell the anti-Trump faction within the party.

Jon Stewart Torches Donald Trump and Joe Biden in 'The Daily Show' Return

Amid the heated political landscape, comedian Jon Stewart made his triumphant return to The Daily Show, hosting the political satire show every Monday, and he came back with a bang as he went after not just Trump, but Joe Biden as well.

"So Joe Biden had a big press conference to dispel the notion that he may have lost a step - and, politically speaking, lost three to four steps," the comedian said. However, he also blasted Trump, saying, "Biden's lost a step, but Trump regularly says things at rallies that would warrant a wellness check."
