Dimon, Jamie
1956–

Margin
C +1

Dimon's annual shareholder letters from 2019-2026 have become a de facto state-of-the-establishment-Republican-business-world address — his documented positions include pro-immigration reform, pro-infrastructure investment, pro-Ukraine, pro-NATO, anti-populist-extremism (on both sides), fiscal-hawk-but-pragmatic, and deeply concerned about American institutional decline. Cornyn fits Dimon's framework almost exactly: institutional Republicanism, pro-Ukraine and pro-NATO, anti-broadest-tariffs, Gang-of-Eight immigration engagement, CHIPS-Act infrastructure investment, and the personal-conduct integrity Dimon would treat as essential for high office. The Dimon grade is one of the strongest Cornyn fits on the entire ballot. Talarico's institutionalism, immigration reform framework, alliance restoration posture, anti-corruption package, and infrastructure investment would also land well with Dimon. Dimon would push back on the corporate tax increases, stock buyback tax, billionaire-taxation framing, and the $15 federal minimum wage as economically counterproductive.
