ELECTION/GOP/IMPEACHMENT/JARED KUSHNER/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Hours before the House Judiciary Committee was set to take a historic vote to push President Trump to the brink of impeachment, campaign officials gathered across the Potomac River for a state-of-the-race briefing in which they described how the Republican Party had been transformed into the ‘beer and bluejeans party’ crafted in Mr. Trump’s image…Mr. Kushner said that the Republican Party was being redefined with the ‘old guard cycling out’ and that ‘a lot of people coming in are inspired by the Trump revolution.’ Despite the impeachment inquiry, Mr. Kushner said that revolution still included a new appeal to former Democrats like himself.”
