Prominent political donor and attorney John Morgan launching new political party
Prominent political donor and attorney John Morgan is launching a new political party, he said on the social platform X on Wednesday.
“I am forming a new political party for those of us stuck in the middle. 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,” Morgan, an attorney at the Morgan & Morgan law firm, said in his Wednesday post.
He ended the post with, "Stay tuned," without adding many details about the launch.
Morgan could have been referring to the group No Labels in the post, which dropped its own “effort to put forth a Unity ticket in the 2024 presidential election” in April of last year.
The Hill has reached out to Morgan for further comment.
In July, Morgan said he would not contribute to fundraising efforts for former Vice President Harris on the same day former President Biden left the presidential race.
“You have to be enthusiastic or hoping for a political appointment to be asking friends for money. I am neither. It’s others turn now,” Morgan said on X at the time.
Morgan also previously predicted the former vice president’s November loss.
“She would not be my first choice,” Morgan said of Harris in a July report from The Hill. “But it’s a done deal.”
President Trump’s election victory and return to the White House has rattled Democrats, who lost their hold on the Senate and did not take back the House in last year’s elections.
There have been ongoing conversations in the Democratic Party about its candidates’ performances at the polls in November, with some centrists saying the party went too left, and liberals saying it didn’t go left enough.
The Hill has reached out to No Labels for comment.
