Two of America’s biggest business titans — Bill Gates and JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon — are secretly supporting Vice President Kamala Harris, the N.Y. Times reported yesterday in separate stories.
Why it matters: Former President Trump has threatened retribution against Democratic donors and political opponents.
What they’re saying: Gates has “said privately that he recently donated about $50 million to a nonprofit organization” that backs Harris but doesn’t have to disclose its donors.
- In a statement to The Times, Gates avoided endorsing Harris but said that “this election is different, with unprecedented significance for Americans and the most vulnerable people around the world.”
Dimon has been vague about his political leanings in public but has made his support for Harris clear in private, The Times writes.
- He says he’d consider a role in her administration — likely Treasury secretary.
Flashback: Trump told Bloomberg Businessweek over the summer that he would “consider” offering Dimon a cabinet position if elected.
