Sen. Robert P. Casey Jr. (D-Pa.) underwent a successful, scheduled surgery for prostate cancer on Tuesday, his office said. Casey, 62, is up for reelection in 2024 and announced the cancer diagnosis in January. He isn't expected to need further treatment.
The son and namesake of a former governor, Casey serves on a number of committees, including Senate Finance as well as Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. Because of the surgery, Casey missed votes on judiciary nominees Tuesday.
His office did not say when it expects the senator to be back at work in the Capitol. Because Democrats hold a single-seat majority in the Senate, any absence could affect their agenda. But with Republicans in control of the House, there is little major legislation under consideration in a divided government.
And while Casey underwent surgery Tuesday, he still shared a Valentine’s Day message flavored with his trademark social media humor on his Twitter account earlier in the day:
