Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) should bring the Senate back from recess early if the House passes a bill to fund the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).

“In addition to hearings, I will push for new legislation that will undo the changes that have slowed down the mail and ensure all mail-in ballots for the upcoming election are treated as First Class priority. Accordingly, if the House acts on legislation, Leader McConnell must bring the Senate back into session so we can quickly pass their legislation to reverse these harmful changes,” Schumer said in a statement on Sunday.
