Changes made to the Postal Service under DeJoy, the US postmaster general and major donor to former President Donald Trump, sparked outrage last year when critics blamed him for the slowdown of mail delivery ahead of the critical November election. But now, Democrats are at odds over how to handle DeJoy -- who can only be dismissed by the USPS Board of Governors -- with Biden himself yet to weigh in on DeJoy's future even as it's dividing his party on Capitol Hill. "Through the devastating arson of the Trump regime, the USPS Board of Governors sat silent. "The Committee will not be delayed or deterred from passing significant reforms to help the long-term financial sustainability of the Postal Service -- a goal the American people overwhelmingly support," Maloney said. In the middle is Biden, who has yet to publicly tip his hand on his feelings about the postmaster general.
