Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has resigned after nearly five years in the position. He’s leaving as President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency have floated the idea of privatizing mail service. DeJoy said in a statement that Monday would be his last day on the job. The head of the U.S. Postal Service had said in February that he had intended to step down but hadn’t set a date. DeJoy’s tenure was marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, surges in mail-in election ballots and efforts to stem losses through cost and service cuts.
