Georgia’s US Senator Jon Ossoff continues to go after the US Postmaster General at hearings held on Thursday.

U. S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy faced scrutiny from senators about mail delays and the postal service’s forecasted $9. 5 billion losses this year. Senator Ossoff, concerned about delays from the Palmetto USPS facility, criticized DeJoy for failing to meet financial targets and maintain delivery efficiency in Georgia. DeJoy stated that improvements were being made despite the challenges faced by the USPS during the pandemic.

During the hearing, tensions rose as Ossoff highlighted the impact of delays on seniors needing prescriptions and small businesses. DeJoy countered that Ossoff’s criticism was personal. Ossoff vowed to keep pressuring the USPS for solutions and hinted at potential actions against DeJoy if improvements were not made.
