DeJoy is poised to remake a resurgent USPS. Now comes the hard part.

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has privately told associates in recent days that the hard part of his job at the U.S. Postal Service is just beginning.

President Biden just signed legislation that will allow DeJoy the financial freedom to remake the nation’s mail service as the postal chief sees fit. It’s an improbable bipartisan success for DeJoy, who before he even took office drew criticism over his connections to the Trump administration and his role as a major Republican political donor.
