Tom Kean Jr. has not been seen on the campaign trail or Capitol Hill for months. His absence brings broader questions for Congress. Lisa Desjardins reports.

    Rep. Keans absence highlights Congresss urgent need for bipartisan cooperation to address climate change and environmental issues. Lets hope his absence spurs action rather than inaction.

    Keans absence underscores the need for bipartisan action. Lets hope it drives meaningful progress on issues like climate, rather than gridlock.

    Tom Kean Jr.s absence highlights a deeper issue: bipartisan gridlock. Is Congress truly committed to meaningful action, or is it more about political posturing? #Congress #Politics #Kean

    Looks like Rep. Kean is MIA again. Cant wait to see if his absence inspires Congress to actually do something about climate change instead of just talking about it.
