Get you up to speed: GOP Rep. Tom Kean Jr. ousted in New Jersey reelection bid after monthslong absence
Democrat Rebecca Bennett defeated GOP Rep. Tom Kean Jr. in New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District, according to WTX US News projections. Kean missed months of votes earlier this year due to being treated for depression, which he disclosed only after returning to Washington in late June.
Rebecca Bennett’s campaign raised approximately £8.2 million during the election season, significantly outpacing Tom Kean Jr.’s £5.9 million. The district has been identified as a critical battleground, with both House Speaker Mike Johnson and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries actively campaigning for their respective candidates.
Democrat Rebecca Bennett’s victory over GOP Rep. Tom Kean Jr. in New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District has underscored ongoing debates regarding transparency of elected officials’ health, particularly following Kean’s recent disclosure of his struggle with depression. The Congressional Leadership Fund’s decision to reallocate resources away from Kean’s race, combined with Bennett’s significant fundraising advantage, highlights the competitive landscape as both parties prepare for future elections.
What remains unclear — The specifics of Tom Kean Jr.’s treatment and recovery process for depression have not been disclosed.
Democrat Rebecca Bennett defeats GOP Rep. Tom Kean Jr. in New Jersey’s 7th District
Washington — Democrat Rebecca Bennett ousted GOP Rep. Tom Kean Jr. in New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District, WTX US News projected.
The two-term congressman missed months of votes earlier this year as he was secretly being treated for depression. Kean did not disclose the diagnosis or his hospitalization until he returned to Washington in late June — nearly four months after his absence became apparent.
In a speech on the House floor upon his return, Kean said “there is no timeline for recovery” for depression. But the lack of details about his condition during his extended absence renewed the debate about how transparent elected officials should have to be about their health.
Kean was one of the most vulnerable House Republicans this cycle. Weeks before the election, the Congressional Leadership Fund, the super PAC allied with House Speaker Mike Johnson, shifted resources away from Kean’s race to other critical contests, foreshadowing the 7th District outcome.
Bennett, a former Navy helicopter pilot, had a fundraising edge over Kean according to their most recent quarterly Federal Election Commission filings. Bennett reported raising about $3.9 million from July through September, while Kean reported less than $1 million over the same period. Through the whole election season, Bennett raised nearly $8.2 million compared to Kean’s nearly $5.9 million.
Kean, a former state lawmaker, was elected to Congress in 2022. He defeated the Democratic incumbent, Rep. Tom Malinowski, flipping the district for the second time since the 2018 election.
Since August, both House Speaker Mike Johnson and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries campaigned with their respective candidates in the district, signaling its importance to the parties as they vie for control of the lower chamber.

Get you up to speed: Six flights including two from UK grounded by bomb threats across Europe | News World
Two flights from the UK were evacuated following bomb threats involving six planes across Europe. A Ryanair flight from Manchester landed at Murcia Airport and was inspected after a bomb threat, and a Polish Airlines flight from Heathrow was diverted to Warsaw-Modlin Airport where passengers were evacuated without finding any suspicious items.
Authorities at Warsaw-Modlin Airport confirmed the runway was closed until 1pm local time while bomb disposal teams inspected the Polish Airlines flight. The Government Delegate for the Region stated that inspection protocols were activated following the bomb threat, which caused the aircraft to be routed to a designated area for further evaluation.
The Government Delegate for the Region, Francisco Lucas, confirmed that the evacuation of the Ryanair flight was due to a “bomb threat,” stating that the aircraft is currently being inspected. Warsaw-Modlin Airport remains closed until 1pm local time as authorities, including bomb disposal teams, assess the situation following the emergency landing of the Polish Airlines flight.
What remains unclear — It is not known why multiple flights across Europe received bomb threats concurrently.

Two other Ryanair flights, from Portugal and Ireland, also received reports of explosives en route to Italy, while one plane from Israel had a bomb threat before landing in Sofia, Bulgaria.
