President-elect Donald Trump said Thursday that JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon will not be part of his administration.
Trump broadcast the decision on his Truth Social network.
Republicans and Democrats had mentioned Dimon as a potential Treasury secretary for Trump and also for Vice President Kamala Harris, if she had won.
“I greatly respect Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase, but he will not be invited to join the Trump administration. I thank Jamie for his outstanding service to our country!’ Trump wrote Thursday afternoon.
The message came after Reuters reported the day after the presidential election when Dimon had no plans to join the Trump White House 2.0.
Dimon did not support Trump prior to the election.
But his wife Judy went one step further and knocked on the door for Harris in the swing state of Michigan the weekend before voters went to the polls.
Judy Dimon donated nearly $200,000 to the Democratic National Committee and gave the Harris campaign $3,300 — the maximum individual donation allowed to a candidate’s committee per election cycle.

She gave the same amount to Michigan Democratic Senate hopeful Rep. Elissa Slotkin, who was successful in her bid.
Jamie Dimon’s net worth is estimated at around €2.5 billion. He is credited with helping JPMorgan Chase’s CEO overcome the 2008 financial crash, leading the bank for nearly 19 years.
Trump has shocked Washington so far with some of his appointments — including the selection of embattled Rep. Matt Gaetz as attorney general and Fox News host JPMorgan Chase CEO as head of the Pentagon.
But he has also been vocal about who will not join the ranks, even if they have told him they are not interested.
On Saturday, Trump posted on Truth Social that former UN ambassador. Nikki Haley and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo would not be asked back.
Haley has since said on her SiriusXM show that Trump knew she didn’t want to work for him anymore.
“His best friend, Steve Witkoff, came to our house in South Carolina… He said, ‘What do you want? Tell me what you want. Is there anything you want?’ I said, “There’s nothing I want,” she said.
The two were political rivals during the 2024 Republican primary, which he won.
Haley later supported Trump but never personally campaigned for him.
Instead, she ran for Pennsylvania Republican Senate hopeful Dave McCormick.
