President Donald Trump has publicly endorsed Rep. Thomas Kean Jr., a Republican congressman from New Jersey, who has been absent from Capitol Hill since early March due to undisclosed medical issues. Despite missing over 100 votes in the House of Representatives, Trump claimed that Kean is 'working tirelessly' for his constituents. Kean, who is seeking a third term, is running unopposed in the upcoming GOP primary on June 2, but faces a competitive general election in November, with the Cook Political Report indicating a shift in his district's outlook from leaning Republican to a toss-up. Although Kean has not provided details about his health condition, he has assured supporters of a positive prognosis. Local Republican leaders remain supportive, expressing confidence in his ability to return to the campaign trail soon. During his absence, Kean has maintained some engagement through social media, including remotely introducing a bill related to federal healthcare coverage for preeclampsia.
