Tom Kean Jr. returned to the House floor in late June 2026 after a four-month absence tied to hospitalization for depression, delivering a public explanation and resuming legislative activity. He had won his June primary unopposed, launched a summer fundraising schedule, and received endorsements including from President Trump, with GOP leaders voicing confidence in his November general election bid against Democrat Rebecca Bennett in the competitive New Jersey 7th district. No subsequent announcements of resignation, retirement, or withdrawal have emerged through mid-August, and structural factors such as the two-year term ending in January 2027 and the absence of reported health setbacks or party pressure further align with trader expectations that he will complete his current service.
