Morgan is easily the most influential non-politician in Florida politics. His outsider-making-an-impact record could play very well with Democratic voters who favored Senator Bernie Sanders over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the party nomination.
He’s already gone on the record in support of a major Sanders initiative – raising the minimum wage. He spins it as a populist “people versus the establishment” issue.
In an interview with Politico Magazine, Morgan had this to say about raising the minimum wage:
“That’s the reason for the anger that we were seeing in the Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump supporters. That the harder they worked, the further they fell behind. And it’s not a Republican or a Democrat issue. It’s just a people issue.”
This issue will be a key focus for Morgan, whether as a major platform point or his next constitutional amendment in 2020.
