This guy was appointed during Trump’s first term. Back then I remember this gutting/privatization of the USPS being a topic of discussion. I kept expecting to hear that Biden had replaced him; I wonder what made him keep him.

IIRC, the postmaster can't be removed by the president - they answer to a different authority.
