Jamie Dimon Backs Kamala Harris, Open to Treasury Secretary Role in Her Administration

Oct 22, 2024, 03:59 PM

Reports have emerged indicating that Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, has privately expressed support for Vice President Kamala Harris and would consider a role in her administration, potentially as Treasury Secretary, according to the New York Times. Dimon has reportedly conveyed to associates his backing of Harris and his concerns over former President Donald Trump's election denialism, which he views as 'close to disqualifying'. Additionally, donors to Trump's campaign have pressured Dimon to support the former president or remain publicly neutral. While Dimon has not publicly announced his support, sources suggest he is wary of potential backlash from political endorsements. Discussions hint at Dimon's openness to serving as Treasury Secretary if Harris were to become President.
