If you read it, you'll see the only person who Kean has talked to is the speaker, Liar Mike Johnson. The source is NJ Spotlight News, put out by PBS.
Headline: Radio silence: Concerns grow about Keans health during lengthy absence
Calls and text messages to a missing New Jersey congressman have gone unanswered
Here is why it is important. repukes can't afford to lose more than a vote or two and still pass a bill. The immigration bill is the big concern. See what happened by reading the text at this link.

Snip
In a statement to NJ Spotlight News late Thursday, Speaker Mike Johnson said he talked to Kean hours that day.
I was happy to speak to Tom Kean, Jr. this afternoon by phone, Johnson said. He is attending to a personal health matter and expects to be back to 100% very soon. 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.
Snip
If Johnson did indeed talk to Kean, he is the only one who has gotten through. Look at these excerpts of people who have tried and failed. My spidey sense is that something is up and they are afraid of losing another member. Also please note pic. Does not look well.

At the Capitol Wednesday, Reps. Jeff Van Drew (R-2nd) and Chris Smith (R-4th) said they both have tried to contact Kean but havent heard anything back. Weve both reached out. Dont know, Smith said.
Complete radio silence, said Van Drew, who overlapped with Kean when both served in the state Legislature.

(note: Van Drew is another one who is up for election and faces strong Dem competition.)
Take a look at this:

Reps. Donald Norcross (D-1st), Josh Gottheimer (D-5th), Rob Menendez (D-8th) and LaMonica McIver (D-12th) each told NJ Spotlight News they didnt know where Kean has been.
snip
There are even more comments from people about his disappearance. At the link, scroll down to the paragraph starting with "Representatives for Tom Emmer, the majority whip, " and you will read of more people who have had no calls returned.
Something is definitely fishy here.
Also, please note the article was updated but it's not noted. Thursday is the 23rd and it contains comments as of yesterday (Johnson, for one).
