I had not known this about DeJoy [View all]

He was chairman of Republican Finance Committee.
I did know that USPS Board member Derek Kan, nominated by Biden, had served on GOP Finance Committee (as well as having worked for Moscow Mitch and also for Mrs. Mitch).

Why would Biden nominate Kan? So many citizens cannot understand or see WH strategy regarding mail (and ballots).

And why isn't there some messaging regarding USPS from WH?

I could spend all day every day answering questions on social media from concerned citizens who are mystified about DeJoy.

This matter hurts Biden in public opinion. I see it every day. A short statement in WH briefing room would suffice.
