凯特琳·伊利克是哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网（CBSNews.com）驻华盛顿特区政治记者。她曾就职于《华盛顿检查者报》和《国会山报》，并入选美国国家新闻基金会2022年保罗·米勒华盛顿报道奖学金项目。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网预测，丽贝卡·贝内特已于周二赢得新泽西州第7国会选区民主党初选，她将对阵已近三个月未履职的共和党众议员汤姆·基恩 Jr.。
该选区是2026年中期选举中众议院共和党席位最易失守的选区之一，无党派的库克政治报告将这场竞选评级为“势均力敌”。此次选举将决定哪个政党能在特朗普第二任期的最后两年掌控众议院。
基恩在2022年通过重新划分选区后赢得该席位，新选区更有利于共和党。特朗普总统于周一背书基恩，称其“不知疲倦地致力于实现他的优先议程”。
但自3月5日最后一次投票以来，基恩的行踪一直不明。基恩在4月27日的一份声明中表示，他正在处理“个人医疗问题”。他的幕僚和家人发表的声明反而让整件事更加扑朔迷离。
“汤姆现在的位置没有监控摄像头，”他的幕僚长告诉《纽约时报》。
基恩的父亲、新泽西前州长汤姆·基恩 Sr. 告诉美国有线电视新闻网（CNN），他的医生们“一致认为他会康复”。
“一场严重的疾病让他倒下了，”老基恩补充道，“这不会拖延太久。这不是那种未来会让他丧失行动能力的疾病。各方共识是他会完全康复。”

在5月21日接受《新泽西环球报》电话采访时，这位国会议员几乎没有透露医疗问题的细节，并重申他将竞选连任第三任议员。
基恩周二通过其竞选团队发布了另一份声明，称他目前专注于康复，并将在几周内返回华盛顿。
“我将在几周内从远程办公转为现场办公。届时我会完全公开我的病情细节，”基恩说道，但并未提供任何关于他健康状况的新信息。
曾担任海军直升机飞行员的贝内特击败了三名民主党对手，晋级11月的大选。
GOP Rep. Tom Kean Jr. to face Rebecca Bennett in November as Democrats seek to oust absent New Jersey incumbent

Caitlin Yilek is a politics reporter at CBSNews.com, based in Washington, D.C. She previously worked for the Washington Examiner and The Hill, and was a member of the 2022 Paul Miller Washington Reporting Fellowship with the National Press Foundation.
Rebecca Bennett won the Democratic primary in New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District on Tuesday, CBS News projects, and will take on GOP Rep. Tom Kean Jr., who has been missing from the job for nearly three months.
The district is one of the most vulnerable for House Republicans in the 2026 midterms, with the nonpartisan Cook Political Report rating the race a toss up. The race will help determine which party controls the House for the final two years of President Trump’s second term.
Kean won the seat in 2022 after redistricting made the district more favorable to Republicans. President Trump endorsed Kean on Monday, saying he’s “working tirelessly” to achieve his priorities.
But Kean’s whereabouts since he last voted on March 5 are unknown. In an April 27 statement, Kean said he was addressing a “personal medical issue.” Statements from his staff and family members have only added to the mystery.
“There’s no cameras where Tom is,” his chief of staff told the New York Times.
Kean’s father, former New Jersey Gov. Tom Kean Sr., told CNN that his doctors “all agree he’s going to be fine.”
“It took a real illness to knock him out,” Kean Sr. added. “This won’t linger. It’s not some kind of disease that’s going to incapacitate him in the future. The consensus is that he will be 100% OK.”

In a phone interview with the New Jersey Globe on May 21, the congressman offered few details about the medical issue and reiterated that he is running for a third term.
Kean issued another statement Tuesday via his campaign that said he was focusing on his recovery and that he would be back in Washington in several weeks.
“I will transition from virtual work to in person work within a matter of weeks. At that time I will be completely transparent as to the nature of my medical condition,” Kean said, giving no new details about his health.
Bennett, a former Navy helicopter pilot, beat three Democratic opponents to advance to the November general election.
