Mallory McMorrow Deletes Thousands of Tweets Amid Senate Campaign

Mallory McMorrow, a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate from Michigan, has removed a significant number of tweets—around 6,000—after the Post highlighted her social media history last year. This purge included past tweets that defended “coastal elites” and took aim at “middle America.”

As reported, McMorrow erased all tweets from before 2020, particularly following a 2025 article from the Post discussing her earlier posts. Observers noted her social media cleanup coincided with growing scrutiny of her tweet activity.

In her deleted posts, McMorrow also made comments that criticized the purple state she represents. For example, one now-removed tweet from April 2014 expressed disappointment about the weather in Michigan, remarking, “Oh, it’s snowing. It’s terrible, Michigan. #NYCtoLA.”

On another occasion, she reflected on her California roots, stating, “Days like this make me miss California even more,” in a tweet made just before the certification of President Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton in January 2017.

Interestingly, she once made a peculiar observation about “middle America” leaving the country shortly before Trump’s inauguration. In a now-deleted post, she wrote about a dream in which the U.S. would “amicably split” into regions including parts of the coast, Canada, and Mexico.

Currently serving as a state senator, McMorrow is positioned as a moderate in a competitive Democratic primary to succeed retiring Senator Gary Peters. Despite previous critiques of elitism within her party, her earlier social media presence included posts that implied Trump supporters were less educated and expressed agreement with criticism aimed at rural voters.

In a post from Election Day 2016, she shared a sentiment on how fear and anger had overshadowed the importance of high-quality education. Back in November 2016, she retweeted a journalist stating that many white working-class Americans needed to engage more with diverse communities, pointing out the isolation often experienced by rural Americans.

McMorrow has faced allegations of describing herself as a California resident as late as July 2016, despite declaring she had “permanently moved” to Michigan in 2014 in her autobiography. The scrutiny also highlighted her comments likening Trump supporters to Nazis and expressing a desire for a future without cars—claims she later clarified through a spokesperson.

A representative for McMorrow pointed out that it’s common for political candidates to delete tweets, asserting that her timeline for moving was complex. In regarding her car comments, they noted her background as a car designer and reinforced her support from autoworker unions.

“These are normal tweets from regular individuals,” said her communications director, explaining that McMorrow has dedicated her political career to improving lives through various initiatives, including higher wages and gun violence prevention legislation.

As of now, McMorrow’s campaign has not responded to requests for further comments on this matter.
