Democrats urge Biden to fire USPS chief Trump ally who decimated mail service

Lawmakers call on president to appoint Democratic majority-board that can fire postmaster general Louis DeJoy

Even in a drama-filled election unlike any other, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and his assault on the postal service stood out.

After Trump appointed the businessman to run the agency, DeJoy largely failed in his mission to help the former president discourage voters from casting ballots by mail, but evidence suggests his policies and the pandemic have decimated the postal service. Now many, including Democratic lawmakers, are calling on Biden to act swiftly to remove him and the Trump-majority UnitedStates Postal Service board of governors.
