Rep. Tom Kean Jr. says he expects to return to Congress 'in the next couple of weeks' after missing 100 votes

Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-N.J.) announced he expects to return to Congress within two weeks after missing 100 consecutive House votes since March due to an undisclosed personal health matter. His extended absence has raised concerns among Republicans given their slim House majority and Kean's representation of a competitive swing district ahead of the 2026 midterms. His father, former New Jersey Gov. Tom Kean Sr., stated doctors expect a full recovery but declined to disclose the diagnosis.
