“Our work is far from over. We've got to reverse the damage DeJoy has already done, investigate his conflicts of interest, and fully fund the USPS,' tweeted SenWarren
that, “Our work is far from over. We've got to reverse the damage DeJoy has already done, investigate his conflicts of interest, and fully fund the USPS. He and Trump have shown us the lengths they'll go to in order to sabotage the Postal Service — and we can't let them off the hook.”
The timing of DeJoy's decision isn't lost on anyone, though. This news comes after ranking member Sen. Gary Peters called on DeJoy to testify before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs after outcries concerning the safety of the November election and people’s ability to vote by mail during the pandemic. The hearing is set to happen Friday.
"I am grateful for the commitment and dedication of all the men and women of the Postal Service, and the trust they earn from the American public every day, especially as we continue to contend with the impacts of COVID-19," DeJoy also stated in his announcement."As we move forward, they will have the full support of our organization throughout the election.”
At the moment, questions still remain — like what exactly will the USPS do to fix what's already gone wrong? And if these changes are only suspended until after the election, what exactly does that mean post-November? Of course, if DeJoy intends to continue to break the USPS down in the future, it looks like he’ll have plenty of people to answer to.
