Who is Jared Kushner’s brother, and could his $2.7b company fail under Trump?

Joshua Kushner owns a tech company that sells health care through the Affordable Care Act, which the president has vowed to repeal

JTA — Those who know Joshua Kushner, Jared Kushner’s younger brother, may not be surprised that he showed up at the Women’s March on Washington this weekend. The 31-year-old has given about $100,000 to Democratic candidates over the years, and Esquire reported in August that he was not planning to vote for Donald Trump.

Josh Kushner told fellow march attendees that he was merely “observing” the historic protest, although every move becomes scrutinized and interpreted when your older brother happens to be a senior adviser — perhaps the senior adviser — to the president.

There are no signs of any rift between the two Kushner brothers — but that could change soon. Josh, nearly five years younger than Jared and like him a product of Orthodox day schools, is the founding owner of Oscar Health, a company worth $2.7 billion that sells health care through the Affordable Care Act — the vast Obama administration legislation that the Republican-led Congress seems most bent on dismantling. As one of Trump’s most trusted advisers, Jared could be in a unique position to influence the fate of the law known as Obamacare and, subsequently, the fate of Josh’s biggest company.
