Son-in-law and former senior advisor to President Trump said he’s backing Trump in the 2024 election.
Kushner alongside Trump was able to broker a historic peace treaty deal in the Middle East called the Abraham Accords while serving as Trump’s advisor.
Kushner shared on the Lex Fridman podcast “I do think that the job [Trump] did as a foreign policy president was tremendous. Now, more and more people are beginning to recognize that.”
He continued “Now, under President Biden, this is the second war that’s broken out in the world, and when you have weak leadership, the world becomes a less safe place.”
Kushner comments shouldn’t be too surprising being Trump’s his father-in-law but is reassurance to many considering Kushner has kept silence on election fraud and has denied any has occurred according to depositions.

Check out what The Hill reported:
Son-in-law and former senior adviser to Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, said he is backing his father-in-law for another term in 2024 because of how the former president helped the Middle East while in office. Kushner headed Middle East policy in the Trump administration, specifically policy on peace between Palestine and Israel.
“I do think that the job [Trump] did as a foreign policy president was tremendous. Now, more and more people are beginning to recognize that,” he said in an interview with podcaster Lex Fridman released Wednesday.
He discussed Middle East policy, specifically surrounding the escalating conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, which began Saturday and left thousands dead.
“Now, under President Biden, this is the second war that’s broken out in the world, and when you have weak leadership, the world becomes a less safe place,” he said.“My hope and prayers are that President Trump is reelected and that he’s able to then restore calm and peace and prosperity to the world.”
Kushner said the foreign policy goals under Trump’s administration represented the potential for the Middle East to become a significant economic and diplomatic region for the U.S.
“I do think that the region has tremendous potential, it’s just been held back by bad policy, bad leadership, bad objectives,” he said. “When President Trump left office in 2021, the Middle East was really on a very positive trajectory, and if the right things happen, it can continue to be so.”
The Kushner interview on Lex Fridman was really good. It dawned on me that this is the appeal of Fridman: he is the anti-social media, anti-shock jock. He brings on people you are normally acquainted with through polarizing sound bites and makes them more three dimensional. https://t.co/yqupP8ccSL
