Trump Administration Abandons Harriet Tubman $20 Bill Plans
The Trump administration has dropped a decade-old plan to feature abolitionist Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the Treasury is “not at present” planning to move forward with the Tubman redesign, a departure from the initial 2016 announcement. This decision contrasts with the administration’s active consideration of a new $250 bill featuring Donald Trump’s likeness to commemorate the nation’s 250th anniversary. Former President Trump himself had previously criticized the Tubman bill as “pure political correctness.”
