Jamie Dimon, JP Morgan CEO and country's most powerful banker, is quietly backing Kamala Harris in US elections
Democrat candidate Donald Trump. Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase is quietly backing a Kamala Harris win this November, even though he had praised Donald Trump and his policies sometime ago.
Is Jamie Dimon supporting Donald Trump or Kamala Harris?
According to the New York Times' report, Dimon is being viewed as one of the most important players in the world of finance as well as on Wall Street. Therefore, his backing of Kamala Harris would mean a lot in case she is voted to power at the White House. He may also help in roping in some amount of voter support of those Americans who are very vigilant and reliable on the stock markets and banks.
As soon as the word of this kind of support for Harris has broken out, it can be easily expected that there may be some amount of swing in the US election race. Dimon has always maintained the stand that he is a patriot and his country and its policies are much more important to him than any company. There are also reports that the Harris campaign had previously approached Dimon about an endorsement for the current Vice President and Democrat candidate.
Dimon camp had previously rejected Trump's broad claims
The Republicans had reportedly done the same and Trump had posted on truth social that Dimon had in fact given his support to the former US President. However, this claim was quickly denied by the JPMorgan chief's team. It looks like his demand for an endorsement holds much value for both the candidates with very few days remaining in the US election race.
