New Jersey Congressman Donald Payne (D) is still in the hospital, according to his office.
“Congressman Donald M. Payne, Jr. suffered a cardiac episode based on complications from his diabetes last week. Today, he is in stable condition at a local hospital and continues to be under doctor's care,” the office wrote in a statement. “While we hope for a full recovery, we ask everyone to keep him in your prayers.”
According to The Hill, the update comes more than a week after his office said he has a “good prognosis” and is expected to make a full recovery as he underwent routine exams to monitor his health.
“He was admitted to a local hospital for treatment,” his team said earlier this month. “Currently, he is recovering in the hospital as doctors conduct routine exams to monitor and observe his improvement.”
Payne, 65, has served in Congress since 2013 representing New Jersey's 10th Congressional District, which covers parts of Essex, Hudson and Union counties.
He is running unopposed in the state's Democratic primary on June 4.
