Quick Summary

Small Business Administrator Kelly Loeffler told Fox News Digital that under Trump’s policies, local employers received $100 billion in support, marking the second consecutive year of such figures. She attributes this to tax cuts, deregulation, and trade policies, aiming to bolster the Republican argument ahead of congressional elections. The Small Business Administration guaranteed 62,205 loans worth $39.5 billion through its primary loan programs in fiscal 2026, with an additional $100 billion including private investment and disaster aid. However, a 43-day government shutdown reduced lending by approximately $5 billion during the fiscal year.
