Personal injury lawyer and former major Democratic donor John Morgan announced plans last week to create a new political party, stating on social media that he was forming a party for those “stuck in the middle.”
“I am forming a new political party for those of us stuck in the middle,” Morgan posted on X. “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, a Florida-based personal injury attorney, is best known as the founder of Morgan & Morgan, which describes itself as “America’s Largest Personal Injury Law Firm.” A longtime Democratic donor, Morgan contributed heavily to candidates associated with the party before announcing in 2017 that he was leaving the party to register as an independent, citing disillusionment with the state of American politics. However, despite leaving, he continued to support some Democratic candidates as recently as the 2020 election.
In a follow-up to his original post, Morgan stated that while he supports certain positions from both the Republican and Democratic parties, he believes modern politics has become a “bloodsport” where “compromise is a dirty word and civility has been abandoned.” He argued that the country has not been truly unified since the aftermath of 9/11.
“I didn’t vote for Trump but I’m pulling like hell for Trump. I didn’t vote for Kamala either btw. It’s time for a third choice,” Morgan added. “If the choice is only vanilla or chocolate… you never get to eat strawberry.”
While Morgan did not reveal the name of his new party or outline specific policy positions, he has previously discussed forming a political party in connection with a potential 2026 gubernatorial bid, as well as shared his views on certain topics in relation to such a campaign.
In a December interview with Politico, Morgan stated that if he were to run for governor of Florida, he would do so under a new party called the “Capitalist Party.” He described his political stance as supporting the legalization of marijuana and prostitution—while still advocating crackdowns on cartels, traffickers, and “pimps”—and opposing monopolies. However, he also distanced himself from certain progressive positions, including opposing transgender student athletes competing in sports that align with their gender identity.
“I think I know what people want,” Morgan said at the time. “And I think what people want is what I want.”
Fare law, perhaps.
Or, maybe, the Fair Law Party. A little more palatable
The Lawfare Party?
Have you been harmed by national politics? You may be entitled to compensation.
“I didn’t vote for Trump but I’m pulling like hell for Trump.”
I’m sorry but what does that even mean? How are you “pulling” for Trump? Expound, elaborate.
“If the choice is only vanilla or chocolate… you never get to eat strawberry.”
An unfortunate analogy, but perhaps an apt one from the sound of Morgan: who the heck wants strawberry ice cream, when vanilla or chocolate – or most any other flavor – is available?
“he would do so under a new party called the ‘Capitalist Party.'”
… This wouldn’t by any chance happen to have anything to do with https://independentpoliticalreport.com/2025/03/american-capitalist-party-names-michael-liebowitz-as-vice-chair/ would it?
“I think I know what people want,” Morgan said at the time. “And I think what people want is what I want.”
Of course, naturally, lol. What most people want is to chase ambulances to hospitals, or better yet to hire the country’s biggest team of ambulance chasers, take advantage of natural and man made disasters, and shake down anyone with pockets deep enough to be worth shaking. He must picture his photo next to the definition of grace with humility.
