Representative Lauren Boebert criticized fellow Republican Congressman Tom Kean Jr. for his absence from Capitol Hill, where he has missed over 100 roll call votes during a nearly three-month period. Boebert expressed concern that Kean's absence could negatively impact the Republican Party's efforts to maintain their slim majority in the House during the upcoming November midterm elections. Kean has not voted since March 17, and his absence has raised questions among Republicans regarding his return. In May, Kean attributed his absence to a medical issue and stated that he was on the path to recovery. Despite his absence, Kean won his uncontested Republican primary, receiving an endorsement from former President Donald Trump. Boebert, however, did not provide a strong endorsement for Kean, emphasizing the importance of being present and engaged in the political process.
