共和党领导人对众议员小汤姆·基恩缺席国会一事毫不知情

众议院共和党人正面临关键一周，需通过多项必须通过的法案，但有一名共和党议员因缺席已累计数十次未投票。
新泽西州共和党众议员小汤姆·基恩因不明健康问题已缺席一个多月的投票。本周众议院将审议为移民执法提供资金的预算蓝图以及重新授权政府无证监听权力的法案，目前尚不清楚这位连任两届的议员是否会再次缺席。
基恩长期缺席之际，众议院议长、路易斯安那州共和党人迈克·约翰逊因众议院共和党人微弱的多数优势，在党派立法投票中仅能承受极少量议员倒戈。
“预计他将完全康复，很快就能恢复全部日程安排，”基恩的发言人哈里森·尼利告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。

尼利未透露基恩计划何时恢复工作，也未说明其病情的性质和严重程度。
据监控国会缺席情况的网站GovTrack数据，基恩自3月17日以来已缺席50次唱名投票，缺席率达100%。他上一次投票是在3月5日——近两个月前。
约翰逊周四表示，他已与基恩通电话，预计对方将完全康复。
“他正在处理个人健康事务，预计很快就能完全恢复工作，”约翰逊在给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中称，该声明最先由《纽约时报》获得。“汤姆是国会最敬业、最勤奋的议员之一，我感谢他为新泽西州民众和国家所做的一切，并期待他继续履职。”

对基恩长期缺席的审查正值全国民主党在11月中期选举前积极攻击其摇摆选区之际。无党派的库克政治报告将基恩的连任竞选评为“势均力敌”。
基恩2024年以5个百分点的优势击败民主党候选人苏·奥特曼成功连任。目前有四名民主党挑战者在6月初选中争夺提名，以期击败他。
民主党国会竞选委员会（DCCC）严厉批评基恩未向选民披露其具体健康问题。
“新泽西州选民有权知道众议员小汤姆·基恩身在何处，以及他为何在任职期间继续进行股票交易，”民主党国会竞选委员会发言人伊莱·库辛告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
库辛提及诺图斯（NOTUS）最近的一份报告，该报告发现基恩在缺席华盛顿期间仍在进行多笔个人股票交易。
基恩的发言人去年告诉《新泽西环球报》，这位国会议员的投资由财务顾问打理，他本人并未参与。

值得注意的是，基恩的办公室在他长期缺席华盛顿期间仍持续在社交媒体上发帖。
周三，基恩的办公室宣布他在本届国会早些时候提出的两项法案已从众议院外交事务委员会获得通过。
该帖子并未提及基恩并未出席委员会的 markup 审议环节。
Tom Kean Jr’s prolonged absence puts pressure on House Republicans’ razor-thin majority

Tom Kean Jr has missed 50 roll call votes since March 17 while Democrats target his swing seat

GOP leaders in the dark about Rep Tom Kean Jr’s absence from Congress
Fox News chief congressional correspondent Chad Pergram reports on Rep. Tom Kean Jr., R-N.J., absence from Congress for weeks, missing more than 50 votes since March, on ‘Fox Report.’

House Republicans face a critical week for must-pass legislation, but one GOP lawmaker who has tallied dozens of missed votes may not be present.
Rep. Tom Kean Jr., R-N.J., has missed more than a month of votes due to an unspecified health issue. It remains to be seen whether the two-term lawmaker will be absent again this week as the House considers a budget blueprint to fund immigration enforcement and legislation reauthorizing the government’s warrantless surveillance powers.
Kean’s prolonged absence comes as House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., can afford to lose just a handful of votes on party-line legislation given House Republicans’ razor-thin majority.
“He’s expected to be totally fine and back to a full schedule soon,” Harrison Neely, a spokesperson for Kean, told Fox News Digital.

Neely did not specify when Kean plans to resume work or the nature and extent of his illness.
Kean has missed 50 roll call votes since March 17, amounting to a 100% absence rate, according to GovTrack, a website that monitors congressional absences. He last voted on March 5 — nearly two months ago.
Johnson said Thursday that he spoke to Kean by phone and expects him to make a full recovery.
“He is attending to a personal health matter and expects to be back to 100% very soon,” Johnson said in a statement to Fox News Digital, first obtained by The New York Times. “Tom is one of the most dedicated and hardest-working Members of Congress, and I am grateful for all he does and will continue to do to serve New Jerseyans and our country.”

THESE HOUSE MAVERICKS DEFIED THEIR OWN PARTIES MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE IN 2025
The scrutiny over Kean’s extended absences comes as national Democrats are aggressively targeting his swing seat ahead of November’s midterm elections. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates Kean’s re-election contest as a “toss-up.”
Kean fended off Democratic candidate Sue Altman by five points in 2024. Four Democratic challengers are vying in a June primary to unseat him.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) sharply criticized Kean for not disclosing his specific health issue to his constituents.
“New Jersey voters deserve to know where Congressman Kean Jr. is and why he continues to play the stock market while in office,” Eli Cousin, a DCCC spokesman, told Fox News Digital.
Cousin alluded to a recent NOTUS report that found Kean has continued to make several personal stock trades during his absence from Washington, D.C.
A Kean spokesperson told The New Jersey Globe last year that the congressman’s investments are handled by financial advisors without his involvement.

Kean’s office has notably continued to post on social media throughout his extended absence from Washington, D.C.
On Wednesday, Kean’s office highlighted that two bills he introduced earlier in this Congress advanced out of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
The post did not mention that Kean was not present for the committee markup.
