JPMorgan Chase denies Trump’s claim that Jamie Dimon endorsed him

JPMorgan Chase said Friday that CEO Jamie Dimon did not endorse former President Trump, shortly after the Republican presidential candidate claimed he received his support.

A spokesperson for JPMorgan Chase confirmed to The Hill that Dimon has not endorsed a presidential candidate on Friday afternoon, just hours after the former president posted an apparent screenshot of a photo of Dimon, with the text: “New: Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, has endorsed Trump for President.”  

Dimon, who has served as JPMorgan Chase’s CEO and chair since 2006, has been vocal about the state of the world and America’s political landscape, but has yet to support a candidate for this year’s presidential race.  

Last month, Dimon told CNBC that he is not endorsing Trump nor Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Harris.

He originally threw his support behind former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley in the Republican presidential primary last year, but she eventually dropped out amid disappointing primary results.  

Trump criticized Dimon for his support of Haley at the time, calling him a “highly overrated globalist” last November.  

Dimon has clashed with Trump on numerous occasions in recent years, though the bank CEO has tried to bridge the gap since the former president won the Republican primary.  

Last January, Dimon knocked Democratic messaging about MAGA, or “Make America Great Again,” and suggested Democrats “grow up” and “listen” to supporters of Trump.  

Months later, Dimon encouraged American leaders to focus on uniting the country and called on the government to include more business leaders in the Cabinet to develop a stronger national policy agenda.  

Trump floated and then shot down the idea of naming Dimon as his Treasury secretary in July. 

Dimon has been noncommittal about whether he is interested in serving in government after he leaves JPMorgan Chase.  

“I want to help my country,” he said at an April event. “I want the next president, whoever it is, to put the other party [members] in their Cabinet. That is what I would like to see. I would like to see practitioners go back to the government.”
