Postmaster general to testify before House

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy will testify before the House Oversight Committee on Monday amid growing concerns surrounding the United States Postal Service ahead of the 2020 election. The emergency hearing will look at recent changes made to the agency, including reduction in overtime and a slowdown in deliveries. Illinois congresswoman and chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Cheri Bustos joined CBSN's Lana Zak to discuss the upcoming hearing and more.

Postmaster general supports voting by mail

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy told a Senate committee hearing he supports voting by mail and noted that he, too, voted by mail for many years. Under questioning by Ohio GOP Senator Rob Portman, DeJoy explained that letters sent to over 40 states warning that mail-in ballots might not arrive in time to be counted were meant to point out that some state deadlines are very close to Election Day. He said it was an effort "to safeguard the election, not to get in the way," and DeJoy encouraged Americans to "vote early." Watch his remarks.
