U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, who was appointed during President Donald Trump's first term, recently announced plans to step down. DeJoy wrote a resignation letter to the USPS's Board of Governors on Feb. 17 outlining his service through a global pandemic and inflation.

Changes are coming to the U.S. Postal Service. It was announced earlier this week that Postmaster General Louis DeJoy will be stepping down from his post as leader of the U.S. Postal Service. Then the Washington Post reported Thursday that President Donald Trump is expected to fire the entire USPS Board of Governors and move the USPS to the purview of the Commerce Department.

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy is planning his exit as the leader of the U.S. Postal Service, a closing chapter to his contentious four-plus year tenure at the agency. In a letter released by the USPS on Tuesday, DeJoy asked the agency’s board of governors to begin the process in identifying his successor.
