John Morgan, Prominent Attorney and Former Biden Supporter, Announces Formation of New Political Party
John Morgan, a well-known attorney and previously a supporter of President Joe Biden, has declared his intention to launch a new political party aimed at capturing the votes of those who feel disenfranchised by the current two-party system. Morgan’s announcement, made via a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, signals a potential shift in the political landscape, particularly in Florida, where he has been a prominent figure.
Morgan expressed his dissatisfaction with the existing political framework, citing gerrymandering and divisive issues as key factors contributing to its dysfunction. He believes the current system is failing to represent the interests of a significant portion of the electorate, those he describes as "stuck in the middle."
"I am forming a new political party for those of us stuck in the middle," Morgan wrote. "Our two-party system is broken due to gerrymandering and divisive issues… both sides. No labels is not an option. Everyone wants a team or tribe."
To formalize the creation of the new party, Morgan has enlisted the legal expertise of Ron Myers, who is currently drafting the necessary paperwork. Morgan has yet to reveal the name or specific platform of the party, promising updates in the near future. He concluded his announcement with his law firm’s catchphrase, "#ForThePeople."
The announcement comes after Morgan previously indicated his lack of support for Vice President Kamala Harris’ potential presidential candidacy. In an earlier post, he stated that he did not vote for either Trump or Harris in the last election, further solidifying his desire for a third option.
Morgan’s criticism of Harris has been particularly pointed. He has stated on Fox News Channel that she "has no talent" and "can never run for president again." He went so far as to say, "She should go away, and never, ever come back."
Morgan’s stance reflects a growing sentiment among some voters who feel alienated by the perceived extremes of both the Republican and Democratic parties. His move to create a new political party could potentially attract voters who are seeking a more moderate or independent voice in the political arena.
Morgan’s political views have evolved over time. He once described himself as a "Bill Clinton Democrat" but now identifies as an independent. Despite his criticism of Harris, he has expressed admiration for President Biden, stating, "I love Joe Biden."
Public records confirm Morgan’s current political affiliation. A search of Florida’s Voter Information Lookup portal reveals that he has "No Party Affiliation," a status he has maintained for several years, according to Fox35orlando.com.
Morgan’s political activities extend beyond his support for Biden. He has also expressed admiration for prominent Democrats such as former President Barack Obama and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. During an interview with Chris Cuomo of NewsNation last year, he praised Obama, saying, "I wish he could be president for life."
He has also spoken highly of Pelosi, describing her as the individual he admires "the most in America." He revealed that he readily donates to Pelosi’s campaigns, stating, "Any time Nancy Pelosi asks me for money I give it." He even mentioned that Pelosi took his children to meet the Dalai Lama, further illustrating his high regard for her.
Morgan’s announcement has fueled speculation about his potential future political ambitions. He has previously floated the idea of running for governor of Florida, with the next gubernatorial race scheduled for 2026.
In 2017, ahead of the 2018 election, Morgan initially ruled out a gubernatorial bid, stating that he couldn’t "muster the enthusiasm to run for the nomination." He added, "And I can’t muster enthusiasm for any of today’s politicians. They are all the same. Both parties. I plan to register as an Independent and when I vote, vote for the lesser of two evils. And if I ever ran, run as an Independent."
Despite his past reservations, the creation of a new political party could provide Morgan with a platform to pursue his political aspirations. Whether he will ultimately decide to run for governor remains to be seen.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Morgan and his law firm for comment regarding the new political party and his potential gubernatorial ambitions.
Morgan’s decision to form a new political party highlights the growing dissatisfaction with the two-party system and the desire for alternative political options. His entry into the political arena could potentially reshape the political landscape, particularly in Florida. Whether his new party will gain traction and influence remains to be seen, but his announcement has undoubtedly sparked a significant conversation about the future of American politics.
His focus on representing those "stuck in the middle" resonates with many voters who feel ignored by the established parties. By offering a third choice, Morgan hopes to provide a voice for those who are seeking a more moderate or independent approach to governance. The success of his endeavor will depend on his ability to articulate a clear vision and mobilize a base of support.
