Republicans Panic Over GOP Congressman’s Mysterious Absence

House GOP leaders are increasingly unnerved by Rep. Tom Kean’s vanishing act.

The New Jersey Republican hasn’t shown up for work in more than two months, and his team has declined to brief party leaders privately on what’s keeping him sidelined. House Speaker Mike Johnson and the rest of his top brass have been kept in the dark for a stretch of roughly 70 days, Punchbowl News reports.

The 57-year-old congressman’s office has, on the record, cited an unspecified medical issue and pledged a swift return. “My doctors continue to assure me that my recovery will be complete and that I will be back to the job I love very soon,” Kean said in an April 28 statement.
