Former Democrats Jason Pizzo and John Morgan are pursuing independent or third-party gubernatorial candidacies in Florida, aiming to attract independent voters and disrupt Republican dominance. Pizzo has already registered as a no-party candidate and publicly criticized the Democratic Party, while Morgan has proposed forming a new third party, engaging potential voters through a naming contest. Their ambitions have ignited concern among Democrats about vote-splitting, which may help Republicans, as analysts suggest their paths could significantly impact the 2026 election outcome.
Pizzo believes that running as a no-party candidate will appeal to independents, stating that the Democratic Party is 'dead' and pushing for fresh alternatives.
Morgan, advocating for a third-party candidacy, mentioned plans to engage the public by launching a contest to name the new party.
