Pelosi Recalls House, Calls On USPS Postmaster General to Testify

Summary from the AllSides News Team

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Sunday that the House of Representatives would be called back later this week to vote on a bill to stop the postmaster general's changes to the United States Postal Service (USPS) ahead of the 2020 election. Pelosi and other House Democrats also penned a letter Sunday calling on Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and Chairman of the USPS Board of Governors Robert Duncan to testify. This comes after Pelosi and 174 other House Democrats signed a letter raising concerns that DeJoy's changes, which reduce overtime and adjust delivery policies, could potentially affect mail-in voting. As of Sunday afternoon, coverage of this story was consistent across all sides of the political spectrum.
