Representative Thomas Kean Jr., a Republican, has been absent from Congress since March. He returned to his home in New Jersey recently, as confirmed on Wednesday evening while wearing a suit and tie. Kean has been away from Washington for nearly four months, during which time his absence from critical activities raised concern among supporters.
It’s reported that Kean is dealing with a health condition, which has accounted for his missed appearances, including over 100 floor votes. Despite this, aides assure that he is expected to make a full recovery, although they provided no further details.
During this period, Kean is preparing for his campaign as he seeks a third term in November. His bid is part of a competitive midterm race, heightening the stakes of his absence. Some Republican supporters express frustration with his unavailable status on the campaign trail, even though he plans to address this upon returning to active participation.
While at home, Kean expressed gratitude to a New York Times reporter, indicating willingness to discuss matters further in the coming week. His wife, Rhonda, was present during this encounter, offering supportive presence while Kean briefly conversed with the press.
