Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is exploring the possibility of forming a new political party.
Speaking to Piers Morgan on his show “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” the former congresswoman said she is having “serious conversations” about creating a new political party.
“I think there’s a group of us that if we decide to align, we could launch a true America-focused party that doesn’t fall into the traps of Democrats or Republicans, but could align some serious players from the right and the left,” Greene said. She added, “It’s difficult to launch a third party, so the reality is this isn’t something that gets off the ground in just a couple of campaign cycles. This is a movement that has to be developed and would take time to develop.”
Last week, a Florida-based attorney announced that he is creating a new political party. John Morgan, founder of the personal injury law firm Morgan & Morgan, plans to launch a party called The Common Ground. The party’s followers will be known as “Grounders.” The political party’s name stemmed from a competition. “We had over 35,000 people submit names,” Morgan said in a video, “and some were very, very good, and some were very, very crazy.” He added, “Whether this works or not, I don’t know, but it’s worth a try to undo the gridlock, the hate, and all of the meanness that has fallen into politics on all sides.”
Morgan launched the contest in May. “After running two very successful constitutional amendment campaigns, I’ve learned that once we drop the ‘D’ and the ‘R,’ most of us agree on most issues,” he said in a news release at the time. “The two-party system—the extremes to the right and the extremes to the left–is freezing us up. What we need is a third political party that can compromise with the left and the right to provide real solutions to the people.”
