Normally, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is quick to shoot down speculation that he could run for office. But in an interview with Bloomberg Television, he didn’t rule it out.
Now that he’s conquered the business world, Dimon is signaling an openness to at least explore an eventual second act in politics. Normally, Dimon is quick to shoot down speculation that he could run for office. But in an interview with Bloomberg Television released on Wednesday, Dimon didn’t rule it out. Asked if he’s ever considered a public office position, Dimon said: “I love my country, and maybe one day I’ll serve my country in one capacity or another.
All of this explains why Dimon’s name has been mentioned in the past as a potential Treasury secretary or even a presidential candidate. In 2016, Dimon said he’d “love to be president” but added it’s “too hard and too late” for him to do that. Two years later, the JPMorgan boss even said he could defeat then-President Donald Trump in an election. “I think I could beat Trump,” Dimon said at the time, adding, “I’m as tough as he is, I’m smarter than he is. I would be fine.
