“When Jamie Dimon surprised the political and financial elite early this year by praising some of Donald Trump’s policies, the longtime Democrat set off speculation that he had switched his allegiance to the Republican candidate,” the New York Times reports.
“He has done little since to tamp that down. The usually outspoken chief executive of JPMorgan, the nation’s largest bank, has been uncharacteristically vague about his political leanings of late. In an interview last week, he even left open the door to endorsing Mr. Trump — whose behavior in the aftermath of the last election Mr. Dimon once described as ‘treason.'”
“In private, however, Mr. Dimon has made clear that he supports Vice President Kamala Harris and would consider a role, perhaps Treasury secretary, in her administration. He has also told his associates that the former president’s 2020 election denialism remains close to a disqualifying factor.”
