President Trump proposes having the Commerce Department run USPS.
Louis DeJoy resigned as the Postmaster General of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) on Monday.
“While our management team and the men and women of the Postal Service have established the path toward financial sustainability and high operating performance – and we have instituted enormous beneficial change to what had been an adrift and moribund organization – much work remains that is necessary to change our positive trajectory,” DeJoy said in a statement.
DeJoy had notified the USPS board of directors in February that it was “time for them to begin the process of identifying his successor.” His official resignation will expedite this process. Deputy Postmaster General Doug Tulino will serve as the acting postmaster until a permanent replacement is appointed.
President Trump has floated the idea of having the U.S. Postal Service under the Department of Commerce. He said last month, “We want to have a post office that works well and doesn’t lose massive amounts of money, and we’re thinking about doing that, and it will be a form of a merger.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For the board of the U.S. Postal Service to be discerning as they consider potential replacements for the position of Postmaster General.
- For President Trump as he considers alternatives to bring down the losses experienced by USPS.
