Postmaster General Louis DeJoy Monday stepped down from his role, pre-empting a decision by President Trump to force him out of the role faster than planned.

Though DeJoy in February had said he would resign, he hadn't given a departure date and until now had continued to carry out his 10-year turnaround plan for the Postal Service. Trump in recent days had been preparing to fire DeJoy, according to people familiar with the matter.

The direction of the Postal Service has been in doubt since Trump in February raised the idea of folding it into the Commerce Department. DeJoy in March signed an agreement to work with Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency on improving efficiency at the Postal Service. DOGE officials visited the Postal Service headquarters last week.

DeJoy, a former logistics executive who took the top job under the first Trump administration in 2020, upended that system in the following years. DeJoy tried to bring packages into the Postal Service earlier in their journey. He consolidated some postal facilities and replaced aging vehicles. His changes led to persistent delays of mail and package deliveries in some parts of the country.

Updates to follow as news develops.
