The plan would need congressional approval but rides on already promising growth for small businesses. The treasury department says it’s receiving 430,000 new business applications per month. That’s *** 50% increase over 2019 and small businesses created 70% of new jobs in the past five years.

He’ll also be taking part in *** televised town hall in Pennsylvania tonight in Washington. I’m Amy Lowe.
