postmaster general

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy proposes slowing some first-class deliveries and increasing postage rates. Without the changes, he warns, USPS will "run out of cash and require a government bailout."

The postmaster general spoke to dozens of the nation's top election officials Thursday, ahead of an election season that will see record numbers of mail ballots.

President Trump's attacks on mail voting combined with changes by the postmaster general have undermined some confidence in the system — but experts say the Postal Service can handle the job.

The U.S. Postal Service still has a number of hurdles to overcome to support upcoming general election mail-in ballots, its inspector general's office says.

Louis DeJoy reportedly tells officials he's setting up a task force to make sure each mail processing plant has sufficient capacity to handle the expected surge in mailed ballots this year.

Louis DeJoy, a successful North Carolina businessman, has donated millions to Republican candidates, including the Trump campaign.
