McCarthy says Postal Service should be funded 1 day after Trump says it shouldn't



By Dan Desai Martin -August 14, 2020 1:01 PM

Rep. Kevin McCarthy's comments come one day after it was revealed Trump and his wife had requested absentee ballots for the upcoming election.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy broke ranks with Donald Trump on Friday, telling CNBC that he supports funding the U.S. Postal Service.

"The Postal Service will have the funding that it needs," McCarthy said, adding, "We will make sure of that." McCarthy claimed Trump would not oppose the funding despite repeated statements by Trump saying he would do just that.

In May, McCarthy voted against a House coronavirus relief bill, the HEROES ACT, that would have provided $25 billion for the post office.

Shortly before the vote, Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA), chair of the House Government Operations subcommittee, warned: "If President Trump and the Senate GOP demand anything less than the Heroes Act provides, the Postal Service will continue to sink."
