Rep. Thomas Kean Jr. is finally speaking publicly after months of absence from Capitol Hill sparked growing questions about his health, political future, and the impact his disappearance has had on Republicans’ razor-thin House majority.

Kean, 57, also attempted to shut down speculation that he may retire rather than seek reelection in one of the nation’s most competitive congressional battlegrounds.
