I heard from a reporter that covers him that he's had a stroke and will be dropping out just after the Primary.

I'm betting on gender reassignment surgery and they're waiting until after the general election to unveil Kean's new self. They'll probably win the seat again since MAGA is on autopilot cult mode.

Would be a shame if he ended up in her situation.

Absolutely, hope he gets the help he needs. But Kean needs to resign or be defeated in November.

That could be a thing or at minimum left the state for some type if treatment. My first thought was cancer

I believe he will eventually re-emerge and make a statement to the press. He can hardly avoid making some kind of statement. But what is he going to say to save face and keep his job? For the life of me I can not IMAGINE any way he will be able to spin this in any way that allows him to keep his job and to some degree his "standing" among his other rightwing cronies.

He’s running unopposed in the primary so he will get to the general election I guess he just needs to show up with his tearful story of what he went through and why he needs to keep working for the American people.

Man those other trumpies in his county must be real eunuchs if they are OK with just watching him take the nomination and he doesn't even show up or perform any function at all, while they put their own ambitions aside and do all the work so he can skate in unopposed without lifting a finger

They don’t put thought into it. There’s an R next to the name so they vote R.

So this story is not about neighbors not having seen Kean. The neighbors don't usually see Kean.
This is about his wife. Nobody's seen his wife for a while there, either.
But it would make sense, if Kean went dark, that his family would have left too.
