Is Josh Kushner a Democrat? All on Jared Kushner brother's political affiliation amid Lakers purchase deal

Josh Kushner, brother of Jared Kushner, is reportedly set to lead a significant acquisition of the Los Angeles Lakers in a $12 billion deal. The investment firm Thrive Capital, headed by Kushner, is teaming up with former Disney CEO Bob Iger for this unprecedented deal. This transaction, if approved, would be the most expensive purchase for a sports franchise and marks the second change in controlling ownership for the Lakers in just a year.

Kushner, known for his investments in technology and high-growth enterprises, has a net worth of approximately $5 billion. While he previously held a minority stake in the Miami Heat, his most substantial sports investment appears to be in the Lakers. Jared Kushner, Josh's brother, has publicly stated that he is a lifelong Democrat and disagreed with his father-in-law's political views.

Both Jared and his wife Karlie Kloss have been vocal about their political disagreements with Trump, casting their votes for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.
