Florida attorney and megadonor John Morgan says he's starting a new political party

ORLANDO, Fla. — Prominent Florida attorney and political megadonor John Morgan says he plans on boosting a new party — his own for those “stuck in the middle.”
“I am forming a new political party,” Morgan posted on X Wednesday. “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.”

The announcement comes as Morgan, best known as the founder of law firm Morgan & Morgan, has also teased a potential independent run for Florida governor in 2026.

Morgan says he has lawyers currently working on the paperwork to establish the party in the state, he's floated potential names including Capitalist Party, Liberty Party or Sunshine Party, but he's open to suggestions.

"If I see an opening where it's possible and viable, I might do it, but I'm not married to that. I'm also okay with somebody else saying, 'You know what, I'll be the I'll be the Liberty party's nominee. It's this is not about me.' The problem with our government now is most people are concerned about me, not us," he added.

Such as don’t do it – it’s an idiotic idea.

It will only make things worse for Democrats (if that’s possible), divide liberals/progressives, and guarantee a permanent Republican tyranny.

to see the people rise up and demand that the money is taken out of politics. There needs to be a reversal of corporation's being people which is the most stupid decision ever made .
