JPMorgan Chase boss Jamie Dimon reacts to Trump’s claims he ENDORSED him for president
Jamie Dimon has reiterated that he is not supporting a candidate for the 2024 election after Donald Trump claimed the JPMorgan Chase CEO was backing him over Kamala Harris.
Social media began spreading rumors that the billionaire – who endorsed Nikki Haley in the Republican primaries – had endorsed the former president, with Trump even sharing the supposed news on Truth Social.
He reposted, without comment or accreditation, an X-post saying Dimon supported him.
After several other media personalities shared the news, Dimon broke his silence through a spokeswoman who confirmed his refusal to endorse Trump or Harris this cycle, citing statements he made last month.
‘Right now I don’t support anyone. I spend more time on policy. What policies do we need that can really help the world, foreign policy and domestically?’

In an unusual move, the Wall Street bank CEO, who generally leans Democratic, in a Washington Post column called for the next president to “restore our faith in America” and for the next administration to be composed of both political parties would put.
Dimon outlined his vision for how the next POTUS can bring the nation together after a polarizing election and “restore confidence in America.”
“Our nation is deeply divided and now faces both challenging domestic issues and perhaps the most complicated geopolitical situation since World War II,” Dimon, 68, wrote.
“We may be at a turning point that will determine the fate of the free and democratic world for decades.
Dimon suggested that the next president should enlist political opponents to work in his administration, as well as private sector figures.
The CEO also implored presidential candidates not to attack those with different political ideologies.
He wrote: “Do not offend, do not stereotype, do not weaponize, do not scapegoat or gaslight.
‘And don’t attack them. Involve them. This takes courage.’

Dimon was an enthusiastic backer of Trump’s Republican Primary challenger Nikki Haley during her campaign
But he stopped short of supporting both candidates. Trump denied rumors earlier this year that he was considering Dimon for Treasury secretary.
Dimon was an enthusiastic backer of Trump’s Republican Primary challenger Nikki Haley during her campaign.
The banker made a series of informal phone calls to Haley in a sign of growing enthusiasm among donors for her candidacy. a top banking source told Axios.
Dimon was impressed with Haley’s economic acumen and recognition of the intersectionality of business and government.
The former UN ambassador said on several occasions that America needs an accountant in the White House amid a series of economic and financial disasters in the US – including record high inflation and a recession.
Dimon has not endorsed Trump, unlike billionaires like Elon Musk and Bill Ackman, who have supported Trump.
Shark Tank personality and billionaire Mark Cuban has thrown his support behind Harris.
