Tubman Bill Delayed, Trump Bill in Sight | US News
Description
Harriet Tubman’s planned debut on the $20 bill is officially on pause, as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirms no immediate move forward. The idea, revived under Biden after years of public debate and political pushback—including Trump’s criticism—was slated for 2030 due to complex security upgrades. Meanwhile, a potential $250 bill to mark the U.S.’s 250th anniversary might feature President Trump, requiring congressional approval since living people can’t appear on currency. Bessent explains that updating existing bills demands years of planning, while commemorative notes follow a separate, more flexible process.
