Republican Rep. Tom Kean Jr. of New Jersey remains absent from the U.S. House of Representatives and will miss another week of votes, according to statements from his office reported by Fox News and NBC News. Kean has been away for an extended period due to an unspecified health issue. NBC News reports that he has not voted in the House since March 5 and will continue missing time as the chamber returns to its schedule. Fox News similarly reports that he will remain absent from Congress for over two months, with his office saying he is expected to return to a full schedule soon. The reports do not provide additional medical details or a specific date for his return. As Kean stays out, the House Republican caucus operates with a thinner margin, though the outlets describe this in general terms tied to his absence rather than any specific legislative action. The office messaging across both outlets indicates that the delay is ongoing, but that a fuller return is anticipated once he is able.
