President Biden Reviving Effort To Put Harriet Tubman On $20 Bill

01/25/2021 Community Biden Administration 0

President Joe Biden’s administration is reviving a stalled plan to put the American abolitionist Harriet Tubman’s face on the $20 bill, the White House confirmed Monday.

“The Treasury Department is taking steps to resume efforts to put Harriet Tubman on the front of the new $20 notes,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki revealed after a reporter asked about the status of the plans, which Trump’s administration had sidelined.

Democratic lawmakers slammed Trump and Mnuchin for not being transparent about the redesign. Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) accused Mnuchin of allowing “Trump’s racism and misogyny to prevent him from carrying out the will of the people.”

Many suspected Trump did not want to see President Andrew Jackson removed from the bill, as he’s often cited the 1829-1837 president as a hero and inspiration to him. Trump had a portrait of Jackson, a slave owner, prominently featured in the Oval Office throughout his single term.
