President Donald Trump endorsed New Jersey Rep. Tom Kean Jr. for reelection Tuesday, writing "HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!" and Kean publicly thanked him. Kean, 57, has not been seen in public or cast a House vote since March 5 and has missed more than 100 floor votes while aides say he is being treated for a personal medical condition. Despite his absence he introduced a bill on preeclampsia last week, showing he continues to file legislation without attending votes. The endorsement matters because voters in Kean's district need clarity about WHO will provide representation and perform congressional duties if he remains absent.
