Former Democratic megadonor John Morgan warned that the party has effectively split in two as Democrats continue to elevate candidates with weaker general election appeal, such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.

Y., while economic insecurity leaves many Americans vulnerable to socialist messaging. 'There's a future for her because, look, the Democratic Party is two parties. It's socialist, and Bill Clinton Democrats, like me. I'm a Bill Clinton Democrat. I'm the opposite of a socialist,' Morgan said Tuesday on 'Jesse Watters Primetime.' He claimed that 40% of Americans do not have $400 saved and that 60% live paycheck to paycheck, leaving many desperate for promises of 'free' benefits. AOC REPEATEDLY DENIES 2028 AMBITIONS, SLAMS GLOBAL CONFERENCE AS DISMISSIVE TO 'CLASS-BASED MESSAGE' 'They want something. The best word in advertising in the whole world is the word 'free.' Buy one, get one free. She's selling free.' Morgan’s assessment of Ocasio-Cortez’s political prospects followed her controversial appearance at the Munich Security Conference over the weekend. Her response to a question about whether the U.S. should commit troops to defend Taiwan from a potential Chinese attack was derided by critics as a 'word salad,' sparking debate about the young Democrat’s future. AOC MOCKED FOR ‘ABSOLUTE TRAIN WRECK’ WEEKEND ON GLOBAL STAGE: 'MADE A FOOL OUT OF HERSELF' 'This is, of course, a, a very long-standing, policy of the United States, and I think what we are hoping for is that we want to make sure that we never get to that point, and we want to make sure that we are moving in all of our economic research and our global positions to avoid any such confrontation and for that question to even arise,' Ocasio-Cortez said. Morgan said the response sounded like Ocasio-Cortez took a page from the 'Kamala word salad school for the Trump deranged.'

Gavin Newsom, arguing that figures like Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker would pose stronger challenges to Republicans. 'But the Democrats are always hell-bent on nominating someone who has the least chance of winning and not the best chance,' he said.
