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.) says he expects to return to Congress within two weeks after missing 100 consecutive House votes due to a serious health matter since March. His prolonged absence has drawn attention due to Republicans' slim House majority and Kean's competitive swing district ahead of the 2026 midterms. His doctors are confident in his full recovery, though his office has declined to disclose specific details about his illness.
