President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner is on the short list to become the next chief of staff, reports said.

Kushner, a top White House adviser, met with the president about the job on Wednesday and believes his ability to work with Democrats will be an asset to the position, according to The Huffington Post.

“I don’t know why he thinks that, when the Democrats are mainly going to be coming after Trump,” a source told the website.

The current White House Chief of Staff John Kelly will leave the position at the end of the year.

Reports about Kushner’s interest in the gig came as North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows and Vice President Mike Pence’s Chief of Staff Nick Ayers both withdrew themselves from consideration.

Kushner, who is married to Trump’s daughter Ivanka, has been under scrutiny by Democrats for his relationship with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

US intelligence agencies have said that the crown prince ordered the killing of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
