Jamie Dimon denies Trump's claim that JPMorgan CEO has endorsed him
- JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has not endorsed anyone for president, his spokesman told CNBC.
- Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Truth Social had posted a screenshot falsely claiming, "New: Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, has endorsed Trump for President."
- "Jamie Dimon has not endorsed anyone. He has not endorsed a candidate," Dimon spokesman Joe Evangelisti said.
JPMorgan Chase on Friday flatly denied that its CEO, Jamie Dimon, has endorsed Donald Trump for president, minutes after the Republican nominee claimed on social media that Dimon had endorsed him.
"Jamie Dimon has not endorsed anyone. He has not endorsed a candidate," Dimon spokesman Joe Evangelisti told CNBC in a phone call.
Trump on Truth Social had posted a screenshot falsely claiming, "New: Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, has endorsed Trump for President."
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to CNBC's requests for comment.
Dimon has at times offered qualified praise for Trump, and he has opted not to endorse the Democratic presidential ticket — either when President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris were leading it.
But Dimon and Trump have also clashed repeatedly over the years.
During the Republican presidential primary season, Dimon had urged corporate leaders to support former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley over Trump.
Trump tore into Dimon for siding with Haley, saying he "had to live with this guy when he came begging to the White House."
