On May 8, 2025, Rep. Beatty criticized Secretary Bessent for not providing a direct response regarding the status of the Harriet Tubman $20 bill. She stated, "Today, I blasted Sec. Bessent for failing to commit to following up with me directly, on the status of the Harriet Tubman $20 bill." Beatty further expressed dissatisfaction with his response: "I asked him a simple question: What's the status of the Harriet Tubman $20 bill? He brushed me off with 'my staff will get back to you.'"

Later that day, Rep. Beatty commented on Dr. Carla Hayden's dismissal as Librarian of Congress by former President Trump. She described it as disrespectful and lacking explanation: "Trump just fired Dr. Carla Hayden—the first Black woman Librarian of Congress—by email. No explanation. No respect." She praised Dr. Hayden's leadership and called her dismissal a disgrace.
