The pressure is ratcheting up in the 7th Congressional District as Democrats are hoping to unseat Kean in their bid to regain control of Congress.

The New Jersey Congressman has not made any public appearances, set foot on the House floor, or cast a vote since March 5.

Some New Jersey voters are starting to notice Tom Kean Jr.’s monthslong absence from Congress due to an undisclosed medical issue. “What's the word?”

Kean’s nomination on June 2 is largely a formality, as he is the only Republican running in the state’s GOP primary.
