Democratic megadonor John Morgan has tossed an unexpected grenade into the already fractured Democratic Party landscape. In a recent interview with Chris Cuomo, Morgan laid bare the substantial doubts surrounding Vice President Kamala Harris’s candidacy for the 2024 presidential election. Apparently, not even the party’s elite—like former President Barack Obama and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi—are keen on handing Harris the torch. One can only imagine the meetings filled with awkward silence as they ponder their future with a candidate who seems to have more unforced errors than a clumsy gazelle.
Morgan, known for his substantial financial contributions to Democratic causes, did not hold back. He suggested that Joe Biden’s decision to choose Harris as his running mate was less about a show of strength and more about a middle finger to the party brass. This is quite the storyline: the sitting president’s nomination being interpreted as a rebellious act against some of the party’s biggest names. For all we know, Biden might as well have put the “I’m taking my ball and going home” sticker on Harris’s campaign materials.

One of the more glaring issues highlighted by Morgan—and indeed echoed by many conservative commentators—is the democratic process (or lack thereof) that led to Harris’s nomination. He pointed out that voters never actually had the chance to choose her in the primaries, a situation that raises eyebrows for those calling themselves champions of democracy. It seems the Democrats are more like a club where you need to know the right people to get ahead, an observation not lost on those watching the party scramble to find unity in its own disarray.
Interestingly, Morgan, despite being a fixture in the Democratic fundraising world, has turned his back on Harris, claiming her campaign’s mismanagement could spell doom for any ambitions she may hold in the future. The man has seen enough political wrangling to know that when it comes to raising funds, candidates need to be trustworthy. With Harris at the helm, it seems the donors are left wondering where their money is going, resulting in a glaring mark on her future chances.
Morgan critiqued Harris’s previous national appearances, highlighting her lack of readiness for the spotlight. While she may have caught some attention during her California tenure, it hasn’t translated into the political finesse required on the national stage. Morgan’s observations underscore a critical concern for Democrats: is their golden girl really ready for prime time? With Harris, it appears that the performance may not be up to par, leaving many questioning if she is the right choice for the party’s future.
As the 2024 election cycle heats up, the cracks within the Democratic Party are beginning to widen. Morgan’s revelations serve as a reminder that even the party’s big spenders are not convinced about supporting Harris, which doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in her ticket. If her tenure as vice president is a taste of what’s to come, conservatives are certainly not the only ones looking for a lifeboat. Harris’s unique combination of being a historic vice president while also acting as a cautionary tale for the party is precisely what the Democrats didn’t order, and it will be fascinating to witness how they navigate the storm ahead.
