Later that day, Rep. Balint expressed skepticism regarding tech billionaires' alignment with working-class interests and liberal values by questioning their presence at Trump's inauguration.

In another post made on February 12, 2025, Rep. Balint emphasized the importance of education for children's success. Drawing from her experience as both a mother and middle school teacher, she underscored the necessity of protecting educational institutions by tweeting: "There is nothing more important than our kids. And their chance to succeed. That's what education does. Speaking as a mom and middle school teacher, I know knowledge is power. Protect the Department of Education."
