Jamie Dimon quietly backs Kamala Harris amid political tensions

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, has privately shown support for Vice President Kamala Harris, despite not publicly endorsing any presidential candidate. 

According to insiders, Dimon’s backing of Harris remains behind closed doors to avoid any political backlash that could arise if Donald Trump secures the presidency. 

Dimon’s discreet stance is a calculated strategy to protect JPMorgan Chase from potential political pressures. 

Sources suggest he is interested in taking on a role akin to the Secretary of the Treasury if Harris wins, although he has not made any official statements about his political alignment. 

Tensions between Dimon and Trump have escalated in recent years. 

Dimon criticised Trump’s post-2020 election actions, describing them as “treason,” yet he praised Trump’s tax policies earlier this year at the World Economic Forum, sparking curiosity about Dimon’s exact position. 

Dimon stated that he wants to thoroughly assess Trump’s policies, showing a nuanced perspective on Trump’s administration. 

Allegations that Dimon supported Trump through the Truth Social platform were denied by a spokesperson, who reiterated that the CEO has not endorsed any candidate. 

This cautious approach suggests that Dimon aims to avoid any adverse effects on JPMorgan Chase by keeping his political preferences ambiguous. 

Dimon’s ongoing engagement with global leaders and policymakers highlights his role as a key corporate figure navigating complex political landscapes.
