President Joe Biden paid a visit to W.S. Jenks & Son in Washington, D.C.
During the visit, which was designed to promote the administration's adjustments to loans made through the Paycheck Protection Program, Biden spoke with the store's co-owner Mike Siegel.
W.S. Jenks & Son, described as the oldest hardware store in the nation's capital, benefitted from a recent PPP loan that was developed for businesses with 20 or fewer employees.
