The 87-year-old representative was admitted to the hospital on July 14 due to a fever and spent 24 days there recovering from a respiratory infection. After his discharge to a rehabilitation facility on August 8, he faced complications that required &#8220;breathing assistance,&#8221; although his doctors remained optimistic about his recovery. His recent health issues have raised concerns about his ability to run for reelection this year or serve another term in Congress. He has until August 27 to withdraw from the race, which would allow New Jersey&#8217;s 9th Congressional District counties until August 29 to choose a new candidate. Pascrell missed a week of congressional votes due to his illness, and with the House recessing on July 25, members will not reconvene until September. He will also miss the Democratic National Convention in Chicago starting on August 19. Currently, he is set to face GOP challenger Billy Prempeh in November; Pascrell previously defeated Prempeh twice in past elections\u201455% to 44% in 2022 and by an even larger margin of 66% to 32% in the more Democratic-leaning district during the previous election cycle. In the recent primary, he overcame strong competition from Prospect Park Mayor Mohamed Khairullah, who criticized him for neglecting Arab American constituents amid ongoing conflicts between Israel and Hamas. If re-elected, Pascrell would become the oldest member of the House at age 87, following only Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA), who is currently aged 90.
