US Postal Service Chief Told Associates He Wants to Quit, Sources Say
Sources say Steiner is frustrated by the Postal Service’s finances and political scrutiny, as lawmakers question delivery service and mail-ballot rules.
- On Wednesday, Postmaster General David Steiner told confidants he wants to resign, feeling deeply discouraged by his role as the Postal Service faces scrutiny over financial losses and President Donald Trump's mail-in voting restrictions.
- Steiner, a former FedEx board member, intended to serve roughly two years but has struggled with the agency's financial instability and lacked support from the White House and Congress in addressing long-running losses.
- Tensions peaked at a June Senate hearing where Committee Chair Rand Paul pressed Steiner on financial losses, while Senator Elissa Slotkin accused him of being a "pawn" in Trump's voting restrictions.
- Denying the reports, the Postal Service stated they had "absolutely zero validity," though sources say Steiner felt he didn't sign up to be "beat up like this."
- Monday's Supreme Court ruling blocked the agency from implementing key elements of its ballot plan, dealing a significant setback to the White House as political and financial pressures mount.
