In reply to the discussion: Biden inherited a USPS crisis. Here's how Democrats want to fix it. [View all]kurtcagle
(1,601 posts)4. I do not see DeJoy lasting another month
Even Republican politicians are getting a lot of heat from their constituents about the mail service, and DeJoy is very rapidly becoming one of the most hated men in America. The problem ultimately comes down to what the best way to deal with him is, as he's in a fixed-term appointment approved through Congress, meaning that he's not in Biden's authority chain for firing. However, I think there is enough concern even among the GOP about the political impact coming back from poor mail service that he may very well be next after Trump to be impeached and convicted, setting him up for a jail term. Given that, DeJoy may very well decide that he'd be better served resigning, if given enough of a push.

That's because DeJoy junked sorting machines which process letters (and ballots!).
