Is Louis DeJoy Still Head Of USPS?.....

If so, why is he still there? I thought that changes were being made to the Board so that they can vote him out?

Once those new members are confirmed, there will be enough votes to remove DeJoy.

It's unlikely he would vote to remove; and two of Biden's other nominees haven't shown any interest in removing DeJoy.

From the article you provided:

"Biden has two more appointees pending, one to take Bloom’s empty seat and one to replace John Barger, but their nominations are pending before the Senate."

Hmmmmmmmmm. Reading is fundamental.

Martinez has endorsed DeJoy to remain as Postmaster General. Three Biden appointees voted for Martinez as Chairman. Anton Hajjar, Ron Stroman and Amber McReynolds. The vote was unanimous. So three Biden appointees voted for someone who is a DeJoy supporter. Those are the facts.
