Major Democratic donor John Morgan, who gave $1 million to Joe Biden’s now-folded bid for president, says he plans to take his money back after party leadership rallied behind Kamala Harris ahead of the Democratic National Convention.
Morgan, a Florida personal injury lawyer known for making big contributions for Democrats, appeared on Fox News host Laura Ingraham’s show Monday revealing the thought process behind his decision to snub Harris.
“What’s next for me is, I’m out,” Morgan said. “What I didn’t like was a coronation instead of a convention.”
Harris has raised $81 million in less than 24 hours after Joe Biden dropped out of the race – making Morgan seemingly an outlier among Democrats with big coffers.
“I believe a convention would have provided a stronger candidate or it would have made her stronger. That didn’t happen,” Morgan said. “I’m just going to take my money and go home.”
“They are not going to need me one bit,” he added.

Morgan explained he would have preferred a convention to vet party leaders he sees as stronger –suggesting that Democrats could have tested out a combination of candidates such as West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, who have both been floated as potential running mates for Harris.
“I don’t think she can win,” Morgan said. “I got a thousand different scenarios that I think make more sense to win.”
“That Democrat party has sailed,” Ingraham retorted, going on to muse that any candidate who hopes for a viable political future in 2028 should, “run from the invitation to be on Kamala’s ticket.”
“I would run as fast as they could,” Ingraham said. “If you can’t beat Trump with everything they’ve thrown at Trump and you go down in flames against Trump, you’re going to be the next roadkill for the Democratic party.”
