"what does he really think? You know, he was part of that socialist democratic thing, which literally is more Marxist than socialist - and I read it - but I don't know what he believes in that."
"talking to a lot of people, he's convinced a lot of people [that] he's going to change [and] he wants to learn."
Jamie Dimon criticized Democratic leaders earlier this year, calling them "idiots" with "little brains" and described Zohran Mamdani as "more a Marxist than a socialist." Mamdani engaged in a charm offensive that included direct engagement with Dimon and conversations with many key power brokers. Dimon acknowledged Mamdani's outreach and indicated he might remain involved even if Mamdani becomes mayor. Dimon questioned Mamdani's true beliefs while noting Mamdani has convinced many people and expressed a desire to learn. Dimon emphasized that city governance requires running large bureaucracies and delivering results on crime, sanitation, and infrastructure.
