President Joe Biden wants to see leaders who can do a “better job” running the embattled U.S. Postal Service, his top spokeswoman said, signaling that Postmaster General Louis DeJoy could be at risk of losing his job.

“I think we can all agree -- most Americans would agree -- that the Postal Service needs leadership that can and will do a better job,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday at a press briefing.
