House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced on Aug. 16 that she is calling on House lawmakers to travel to Washington to vote on a bill that seeks to bar the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) from making planned operational changes before the November election.

Pelosi said Sunday that she is calling back her chamber later this week to vote on what House Democrats have dubbed as the “Delivering for America Act,” introduced by House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.). The measure proposes to block the USPS from implementing any of the planned operational restructuring it had outlined at the beginning of this year.
