Trump endorses missing lawmaker Tom Kean Jr.: ‘He will never let you down!’
Trump backs Tom Kean Jr. as he misses more than 100 House votes while facing questions about an undisclosed medical issue.
- On Tuesday, June 2, 2026, President Donald Trump endorsed Republican Congressman Tom Kean Jr. for reelection despite the New Jersey representative missing from Capitol Hill for three months.
- Kean has not voted in the House since March 5, missing 104 consecutive roll call votes while addressing an undisclosed medical issue his office insists will resolve soon.
- Trump wrote on Truth Social that Kean is a 'Tremendous Advocate of our America First Agenda' and is 'working tirelessly,' even as the congressman remains absent from public view.
- Primary voters in New Jersey's 7th Congressional District head to the polls today, where Kean runs unopposed before facing a competitive general election in November that Democrats view as a prime pickup opportunity.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson recently defended Kean's privacy regarding his health, while critics compare the absence to former New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill, who faced scrutiny for missing 145 votes during her gubernatorial campaign.
