JP Morgan's CEO has had thoughts about the presidency
JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon has come under pressure from the business community to run for president in 2024, the WSJ reported this week. In an interview with Bloomberg, Dimon says that "the thought has struck him" because many people have brought it up.
- I love my country and maybe one day I will serve my country in one way or another, but I love what I do, he says.
According to the WSJ, Dimon has been mentioned as a possible presidential candidate for the Democrats for several years. In 2018, the banker said he could beat Trump, but might not be embraced by liberal Democrats.

Source: Mike Pence will run for president
Mike Pence, former vice president under Donald Trump, will enter the race for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, a source familiar with his schedule told NBC News.
According to the source, Pence will announce his candidacy with a speech in Des Moines, Iowa, and a campaign video, on June 7.
- We see this race as completely tied, and Iowa will really turn out to be a key state, says the source.
Trump still leads widely in opinion polls - most polls show more than twice as much support among Republicans as for his main rival, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

Chris Christie is expected to enter the Republican race
Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is expected to announce next week that he is entering the race to become the Republican presidential candidate in the 2024 US election, reports Axios.
The Washington Post writes that Christie has formed a "superpac", that is, an organization with the purpose of collecting money for a campaign.
Christie has become one of ex-president Donald Trump's fiercest critics within the party. He has expressed frustration that Trump's other potential rivals in the election — Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley and Mike Pence — have largely avoided direct confrontation with the former president.

Trump on tape: Kept classified document
Federal prosecutors have come across an audio recording of former US President Donald Trump talking about how he kept a classified document after leaving the White House, multiple sources told CNN.
The data flies in the face of Trump's claims that he declassified all documents he retained after his presidency — something sitting presidents have the power to do.
During two minutes of the recording, Trump is said to talk about a classified document with information about a potential US attack on Iran.
According to the sources, Trump expresses that he wants to share the information in the document, but that he is aware that as a former president he cannot change the security classification.
Trump's handling of classified documents is being investigated by the FBI, which last summer raided his Florida residence Mar-a-Lago.
