JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon slammed Zohran Mamdani as “more a Marxist than a socialist” — and also lashed out at “idiots” in the Democratic Party who focused too much on DEI and not enough on real-world policies.
The head of the nation’s largest bank warned against voting for Mamdani, who won the Democratic primary for New York City mayor while pushing for a rent freeze, free buses and city-owned grocery stores.
“This guy just got elected – he’s more of a Marxist than a socialist, and now you see these Democrats falling all over themselves saying, ‘Well, he’s pointing out some real problems, affordable housing and grocery prices,’” Dimon said Thursday during an event in Dublin, Ireland.
Mamdani, who handily defeated former Gov. Andrew Cuomo last month, relies on “the same ideological mush that means nothing in the real world,” Dimon argued.
Dimon’s disdain for Mamdani’s emergence as a likely front-runner to win City Hall echoed that of billionaire investor Bill Ackman and other Wall Street titans.
The panic over a Marxist takeover has led to the formation of a group called “New Yorkers for a Better Future Mayor 25,” which is rushing to raise $20 million to fund an anti-Mamdani campaign, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
Mamdani is attempting to squash some of the outrage with plans to attend an event hosted by pro-business group Partnership for New York City – whose board includes Dimon.
Mamdani’s campaign did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
Dimon also had harsh words for the left’s full-fledged push on controversial Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policies, arguing “they overdid” at the event hosted by the Department of Foreign Affairs.

Black hearts, and scheming brains....
Giant virtue signaling, no brains, no conscience.
Well, you play deep state games and you get your fingers burned by the accommodation with communists to pursue globalism. In what world did communists ever work for anything but their own power.
Sounds to me like Jamie Dimon needs a visit to a re-education camp. His mind just isn’t right.
Alternatively, he could flee NYC and take his money with him. That’s probably a better option.
Dimon has supported a lot of Dems in the past. Now he can watch the disaster he contributed to making happen.
Big emotion (mostly hate) and weak brains that are easily manipulated.
Are their hearts really that big? They want to take stuff from other people and give it to themselves.
The only game in town? Probably the main reason why he's a Democrat.
Bullcrap. Marxist hearts are colder than ice.
“Dimon has supported a lot of Dems in the past.”
Probably just feeding the alligator to keep it from feeding on him.
But now the alligator wants him.
Put your money where your mouth is, Jamie. Move JP Morgan out of the city if he wins.
People like Dimon created people like Mamdani. Dimon is now complaining he lost control of his monster.
