Nancy Pelosi called the House back to vote on the USPS bill amid an uproar over mail slowdowns and potential mail-in ballot issues.
The House passed a bill Saturday to put $25 billion in emergency funding into the U.S. Postal Service and reverse recent operational changes.

Insparked by concerns the Trump administration changes would slow essential mail delivery or even stifle voting rights, he said the post office would not replace collection boxes and mail sorting machines it has already removed.
