Philadelphians may know him as “Joan” Morgan, but recently a Florida-based lawyer has caused the slang-like signs to cause local turmoil and be seen as a political destroyer.
Last week, Democrat megadonor John Morgan, founder of the national personal injury company Morgan & Morgan, announced that he would form a new political party for those stuck in the middle.
“Our two party systems are broken due to gerrymandering and divisive issues…” Morgan wrote in a post on X on February 26th.
Last year, as rumors swirled that he was considering becoming independent in Florida’s 2026 governor’s race, Morgan had the idea of launching what he called “capitalist.”
Morgan spoke from his Hawaiian home on Monday, but did not deny that he was considering the governor’s run.
Lawyers believed that democratic brands were undermined and Americans were hunger for new political movements after the 2024 election, both in more surely blue regions like Florida and New Jersey.
“I think that the national revision is a third party that accumulates and has some influence and then gives us something we don’t have in American politics right now. This is a compromise.”
In addition to being the face of what has been declared the nation’s largest personal injury company, Morgan has long been a fundraiser for Democratic candidates and is a supporter of several causes voices associated with the political left.
That includes helping to legalize medical marijuana and sex work, as well as raising the minimum wage, but other views from the billionaire include attitudes towards monopoly and transgender participation in youth sports – cross political disparities.
“The Republicans have sold hope, and it’s a promise that will never come true,” Morgan said. “But they sold hope, and the Democrats woke up. And hope and awakening will win every time in America today.”
Morgan had been thinking of running the governor of Florida in 2017, but retracted his support for the Democrats that year.
Last year, his comfort with the party continued to burst, and he announced that he would not spend money on former Vice President Kamala Harris in her presidential election.
Morgan has shared little other details about third parties since it was theoretically executed in December to replace Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and term-limited Ron DeSantis.
“I was approached by a lot of high-level people who voted for my name and numbers,” Morgan said of the possibility of running on Monday. “I’m not sure what that part of my equation is.”
His main goal is to start his party and measure his interest. The lawyer added that such groups will probably not be called capitalist parties anymore, as “people are stopped by capitalists.”
“I was thinking about the People’s Party, but Tallahassee’s lawyer said there was a possibility that they could be confused with the Chinese Party,” Morgan said.
As stated in X, Morgan said that joining a centralist third party “is not an option.” Lawyers believe that the group’s branding does not provide voters with a clear identity.
Of course, Morgan would not have courted Pennsylvania voters if he ran. However, he maintains a near-constant presence on Morgan & Morgan signs up and down the I-95 and elsewhere in the area.
And Joan’s use of the tongue, a Philadelphia slang term, has ruffled feathers in the past, suggesting that local scholars assigned Morgan to terms coined by the city’s black community.
For other residents, the Billboard fight was simply a wake-up call that Morgan had not actually been based in Philadelphia. I’ve come to believe in advertising.
Once Morgan entered the Florida governor’s race, he joined the field of growing candidates, including Magazine-approved Republican Rep. Byron Donald. Other possible GOP candidates include former Congressman Matt Gaetz and Governor’s wife Casey DeSantis.
It appears that some form of announcement from Morgan is imminent. In X, the lawyer concluded his meditation on the new third party by saying that his lawyer was “drawing papers.”
