The president Donald Trump he supported the congress Tom Kean Jr.who has been missing for three months.
“Congressman Tom Kean is the Greatest Representative of the People of New Jersey's 7th Congressional District!” Trump, 79, wrote on Social Truth on Monday, June 2. “A great advocate for our America First Agenda.”
The president continued, “Tom is working tirelessly to Keep Our Border Secure, Stop Immigration Crime, Grow Our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Champion Small Business, Unleash the Face of American Power, Support Our Bravest Soldiers and Veterans, and Protect our ever-besieged Second Amendment.”
Trump added that Kean, 57, has a “complete and total endorsement” and encouraged his supporters in New Jersey to vote for the embattled congressman on Election Day, Tuesday, June 2. (Kean is running unopposed in the Republican primary and will face the winner of the Democratic primary race in the November general election.)
“GET OUT AND VOTE TOM — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!” concluded the president.
Kean retweeted Trump's message of support with X writing, “Thank you for your support, President Trump! Primary Election Day is tomorrow – get out and vote! 🇺🇸.”
Trump's endorsement of Kean comes after the convention made headlines for his lack of public appearances and a flurry of absentee ballots. Kean cast his last vote on March 5. A month later, Kean said on social media that he was MIA because he was dealing with a “personal medical issue.”
“My doctors continue to assure me that my recovery will be complete and that I will be back to the work I love soon,” Kean wrote via X in late April. “I expect to get back to a full schedule and be at 100 percent.”
Kean also mentioned that he missed many votes that happened during those two months.
“I take my job seriously and have a strong record of attendance and delivery, which makes this absence very difficult,” he continued. “I am very proud of my congressional team, which has kept federal services and legislative work moving forward without interruption, and my political team for ensuring that the campaign continues to run strong.”
Kai Trump gives insight into how often his grandfather, President Donald Trump, calls him on the phone. “My grandpa is calling me,” Kai, 19, told his 1.49 million subscribers in a YouTube video shared Friday, May 22, in celebration of his high school graduation. The student, who has just completed his studies, picked up the phone just in time […]
Since that statement, Kean has not been in person on Capitol Hill and has missed more than 100 votes.
Last month, Kean gave an update on his comeback in a phone interview with New Jersey Globe.
“My doctors are confident that I am on the way to a full recovery,” he said to the media. “I understand the need to be transparent to the public, and I appreciate the support of my representatives.”
