India, May 14 -- Thomas Kean Jr., Republican US House Representative from new Jersey, has been absent from the House for over 60 days as he continues to deal with "personal health matter." As the US House resumed on Tuesday, May 12, Kean Jr was once again absent, triggering outrage among his rival Democrat lawmakers.

Kean Jr., a House Rep. from New Jersey's 7th district since 2023, has not revealed exactly what the "private health matter" in this case is.

As the House resumed this week, his office issued a statement reassuring lawmakers and the public that he will be returning to "a regular full schedule soon." His absence has frustrated other GOP lawmakers as well, given the thin majority the party currently holds in the House.
