The newspaper, who spoke to three people familiar with the matter, reported that it signaled an uncertain future for Postmaster General Louis DeJoy
It was not immediately clear who might be nominated to replace Bloom, who is a Democrat.
Bloom was elected chairman of the Postal Service Board of Governors earlier this year after previously being appointed to the board in 2019 by former President Trump
Previously, he served as assistant to the president on manufacturing policy under the Obama administration.
Only the Board of Governors has the ability to remove DeJoy from his position, and the decision to not re-nominate Bloom could be a step in the direction toward shoring up enough votes to oust the postmaster general, according to the Post.
DeJoy has received calls to leave his post, especially as some voiced concerns that issues at the agency could affect the delivery of larger numbers of mail-in ballots, driven in part by the pandemic.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki
“I think the president is certainly familiar with the process,” she said at the time. “He believes the leadership can do better, and we are eager to have the board of governors in place.”
The Hill has reached out to the White House and Postal Service for comment.
