Morgan’s announcement comes amid rumors he’s eyeing a potential run for Florida governor.

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.

“People… we are all on the same [expletive] team. 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. If the choice is only vanilla or chocolate… you never get to eat strawberry,” Morgan followed up.

While he’s been critical of politicians on both sides of the aisle, Morgan has been a major contributor to Democratic campaigns and helped bankroll successful ballot measures in Florida to legalize medical marijuana and raise the state’s minimum wage.

“Special interests own the politicians in DC and throughout America. We need to focus not on me… but US!! Most laws passed today benefit insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies and other monopolies. How about some laws for the people?” Morgan posted.

“People told me my constitutional amendments had no chance and that I was a dreamer. Dream it… Do it…” he added.

Morgan gave no further details about the potential party, other than he has lawyers currently putting together the paperwork.

With Governor DeSantis facing term limits, if Morgan chooses to enter the 2026 gubernatorial race, he would face off against Trump-endorsed Congressman Byron Donalds (R-Naples). Other potential candidates being floated right now include First Lady Casey DeSantis (R), State Senator Jason Pizzo (D-Miami) and Congresswoman Kathy Castor (D-Tampa).  

According to Florida Department of State data, of the 14.2 million registered voters, 3.7 million have no party affiliation, and another 431,269 are registered with minor parties.

This is a developing story.
