ORLANDO, Fla. — Florida personal injury lawyer John Morgan announced Wednesday that he will be forming a new political party "for those of us stuck in the middle."

In a post on X, Morgan said that gerrymandering and "divisive issues" have broken the two-party system in the United States.

Morgan has not been one to shy away from politics. He's helped bankroll amendment votes on marijuana and raising the minimum wage in the state. He's also donated to Democratic causes over the years.

According to Politico, Morgan has toyed with the idea of running for political office in the state and previously said he would run under the "Capitalist Party" if he did run.

Morgan has not given any timeline on when his new party may launch or what it will be called.

“We’ve struggled so hard to scrape the money to be able to do this for her,” Irizarry said. “She’s my only girl and I wanted this so much for her.”

Couples and families who had weddings and events planned at a well-known venue that abruptly closed claim they’re out thousands of dollars and aren’t being given refunds. Annette Irizarry was supposed to hold her 15-year-old daughter’s quinceañera in August at the Clearwater location and said she’s now out the $6,160 she paid. Without that money, Irizarry said she can’t afford to have her daughter’s celebration somewhere else.
