Donald Trump's most vocal supporters are demanding that Mitch McConnell's office provide proof that the Kentucky lawmaker is still alive after he disappeared amid a three-week hospitalization.
McConnell, 84, was admitted to a hospital on the morning of June 14 following a medical emergency at his Washington, DC home. Paramedics responded to a report of an unconscious person believed to have suffered a 'cardiac arrest,' with a medic reporting 'CPR in progress' at the address.
The senator was not named on the call, and his office has never confirmed what sent him to the hospital, saying only that he is receiving 'excellent care.'
The speculation surrounding McConnell has intensified in recent days because his aides have refused to release new information regarding his condition or whether he will return to work as the GOP fights to maintain their razor thin majority.
Trump conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer claimed that an unnamed White House source told her that McConnell is in a 'vegetative state' or 'brain dead' and is 'not coming back' to work.
DC outlet The Hill even accidentally published an obituary of the senator which was swiftly deleted. A screenshot spread on X, and a copy reportedly stayed live on Yahoo News.
Independent journalist Desirée Townsend confirmed Loomer's allegations: 'I have heard the same thing from my sources for days. At this point, I am at the hospital for when they eventually decide to cut him off of life support and move his body.'
As online chatter continued to grow about McConnell's health condition, MAGA activists like Breitbart editor Matthew Boyle wrote on X, 'McConnell’s staff should produce proof of the senator’s condition one way or another right now.'
The popular right-wing influencer, Catturd, demanded his aides post a video of the Kentucky senator from his hospital bed to prove he's alive: 'Why won't they do it?'
The Daily Mail has contacted McConnell's office for comment.
McConnell's eldest daughter, Porter, 48, has deleted her X account amid the swirling speculation over her father's health.
She is an outspoken critic of her father's conservative politics and a longtime progressive advocate.
It remains unclear exactly when or why she deactivated the account, and there's no confirmation the move is connected to McConnell's hospitalization.
If McConnell were to leave office, or prove unable to resume his duties by August 3, Democratic Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear would be required to call a special election to fill the seat.
McConnell has already stated that he does not plan to run for reelection in the upcoming midterm elections.
His absence amid these health struggles places the GOP's narrow Senate majority in a delicate balance.
Last month, Democrats were briefly able to pass a resolution limiting Trump's war powers in Iran while McConnell was unable to attend the vote.

Please, please, pretty please, someone in the media do your job. Ask President Trump if Mitch is breathing on his own!
He’s dead Jim.
This is the kind of thing the pre-Swamp Trump would have had a field day with.
When I pulled into Walter Reed
I was feelin about half past dead
So I told the Doc
I need maxxed Adrenochrome
I’m not right in my head
Hey Doctor can you help me
The CCP needs me
Thune and Xi beg me
Not to turn up dead
The Weight. Great tune.
Well played, sir. Well played indeed.

He still may. Has anybody asked him yet?
And while you are at it ... how about ‘proof of life’ for Max Yearick.
Call in Gianni Schicchi!
I hope not, or Beshear will appoint a dem to the seat.
Media reporting “he is recovering” from medical episode. He may still be on life support but is never “recovering” and returning to congress. Found unresponsive, no idea how long before he was discovered, cpr in progress before ambulance arrives, his chance of “recovery” is as rare as an honest politician.
In general I’d prefer him dead, but for now we should hope he’s alive.
If he dies now, the Dem governor will appoint a Dem until a special election can be held…which would likely be the midterms. That would give the Dems the Senate majority ‘til then. >:-/
Those stolen senate seats in Georgia (and elsewhere) loom large about now…
Nope. Law was changed
It must be a special election or if they can keep the body warm long enough it’s just held in the next general election
China Mitch is dead.
Stage 4 TDS
Finally someone who understands. Beshear Has already said he is going to ignore the law and appoint a rat. Then we will be running against an incumbent. I have doubts about this story given the fact it came from the TDS children at the mail. We need Mitch to stay alive for a couple more months
what’s the rush to get a new senator appointed by a Democrat governor?
They failed to mention his wife jetted off to China to meet with CCP officials. Seems like an important detail.
“ Paramedics responded to a report of an unconscious person believed to have suffered a ‘cardiac arrest,’ with a medic reporting ‘CPR in progress’ at the address.”

My daughter is a paramedic. She tells me that a vast majority of the time they start CPR in the home it is performative. They will continue it until they get to the hospital where the docs will take over (and usually declare the patient dead.)
Does it ever work in the field? Yes it does. But it is not the usual outcome. Usually it fails because it took too long to start and the O2 to the brain has already caused significant damage. (For example, you walk in on a spouse on the floor, but you really have no idea how long they have been down.)
It works more often in the hospital because they have the tools to aid in the process, and they start it sooner. But even then it is a temporary effort.
