Mitch McConnell's daughter deletes her X account as questions swirl over health after his hospitalization

Source: The Independent

Monday 06 July 2026 21:10 EDT

The daughter of Senator Mitch McConnell has deleted her X account amid widespread speculation over the former Senate majority leader’s health, following a sudden June hospitalization.

It is unclear when or why Porter McConnell, a progressive-leaning political activist who previously directed the Take On Wall Street campaign, deleted her account. The Independent has contacted Porter McConnell for comment.

Porter McConnell is one of three daughters the senator had with his first wife, Sherrill Redmon. She frequently posted criticism of the Republican Party on the now-deactivated account, TMZ noted.

Her social media activity comes as McConnell was found unconscious on June 14 and received CPR after suffering an apparent heart attack in his Washington, D.C., home, according to emergency records obtained by a variety of news outlets.

Gone abroad so she can't be around to pull the plug until it's too late to appoint a replacement. She'll come back the day after that, just watch this space.

...makes me think he's on life support. He probably has been for a while. The GOP would rather keep Evil Mitch technically alive than risk Massie or possibly a Dem taking over his seat.

I expect they are particularly nasty, on that pile-of-shit platform. She may well be thinking "what's the point of an account to get shit on, when I can stick to BlueSky etc.?"
