WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress has passed legislation that would shore up the U.S. Postal Service and ensure six-day-a-week mail delivery. The measure goes on to President Joe Biden for him to sign into law. The long-fought postal overhaul has been years in the making and comes amid widespread complaints about mail service slowdowns. Many Americans leaned on the Postal Service during the pandemic. But postal officials have repeatedly warned that without congressional action, it would be out of cash by 2024. As yesterday’s vote neared, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said, “The post office usually delivers for us, but today we’re going to deliver for them.”
