House will vote on $25B post office bailout bill Saturday

House Democratic leaders told rank-and-file members they will reconvene Saturday to vote on a measure to bolster funding for the U.S. Postal Service by $25 billion and block any changes to the service ahead of the November election.

“Members expressed the overwhelming sentiment of their constituents on both sides of the aisle that we must keep the USPS funded and secure,” an aide to Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries, a New York Democrat, said. “In addition, they articulated their major concerns around the upcoming election and what delayed or uncounted ballots may mean for a free and fair election.”
