New Jersey Republican to reappear in Congress after unexplained 4-month absence

Republican Tom Kean Jr. of New Jersey is scheduled to return to Congress this Tuesday following an unexplained absence lasting four months. During this time, he missed more than 100 votes, which placed his battleground seat and the GOP's slim majority in limbo. The representative had previously been seen at a House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee meeting concerning Belarus in December 2023, but his recent prolonged disappearance from legislative duties remained unaccounted for until now.
