... once their term expires before there will be enough votes for DeJoy's removal. Hoping someone who knows will chime in.

DeJoy but Biden has nominated two more on Nov 17 to replace others, including the head of the board, by the end of the year. So we are just waiting for those two and then they can get rid of DeJoy.

I didn't see your post when I did mine, I hope you don't think like I do, I am a bit of a radical I guess.
