Louis DeJoy will testify Friday about the slow down in mail delivery that could impact the 2020 election.

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy announced he is pausing changes at the Postal Service to ‘avoid even the appearance’ of impacting the election.

The Trump administration’s cutbacks to the U.S. Postal Service could impact the election, as millions more mail-in ballots are expected due to the pandemic.

Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s comments come one day after it was revealed Trump and his wife had requested absentee ballots for the upcoming election.

The GOP-controlled Senate doesn’t have any votes scheduled until after Labor Day.

Louis DeJoy was reported to be planning to slow mail delivery and reduce overtime for postal employees.

Donald Trump is now saying the Postal Service cannot handle mail-in balloting.

The House is expected to vote on the package soon, but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said there is no ‘urgency’ for them to act on it.
