The House of Representatives approved a funding bill for the US Postal Service, largely on party lines. The Senate is unlikely to take up the measure.
The bill passed 257-150, largely along party lines, with Democrats supporting it. More than two dozen Republicans joined Democrats in voting for the measure, defying House GOP leaders and President Donald Trump, who actively urged Republicans to oppose it. On the eve of the vote, the White House threatened to veto the bill. The measure isn't expected to reach Trump's desk, however, as the Republican-held Senate is unlikely to vote on it.
DeJoy said earlier this week that he would halt the changes until after the November election. Congressional Democrats were unsatisfied with the announcement. Pelosi said in a letter to members on Thursday that DeJoy's decision is"wholly insufficient and does not reverse damage already wreaked.
