Longtime Dem/Obama Contributor Defects to Romney

Jamie Dimon, a JP Morgan CEO and once financial supporter of President Obama, has allegedly defected to the Mitt Romney camp.

Dimon, a longtime Democrat who was once rumored to be on the “short list” for treasury secretary before Tim Geithner got the job, met privately with Romney on Tuesday morning before a fund-raiser at Brasserie 8¹/2 hosted by Highbridge Capital—a JPMorgan-owned hedge fund.

Dimon, who was spotted “in a discreet one-on-one” discussion with Romney, cannot legally publicly endorse a candidate because of his position on the board of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. (But he still donated to Democratic candidates in 2008.)

While Dimon’s spokesman declined to give The New York Post a comment, a JP Morgan insider told them that Dimon has not attended an Obama fund-raiser and has not contributed to his campaign during this election cycle. What is even more interesting is that Dimon has met privately with many of the Republican presidential candidates.

“Dimon will continue to look bipartisan, then work behind the scenes to get a Republican elected,” says New York Magazine.
