“Donald Trump and Joe Biden kick off their first debate Tuesday with contentious topics like the Supreme Court and the coronavirus pandemic suddenly joined by yet another potentially explosive question — whether the president ducked paying his taxes,” Bloomberg reports.
“For Biden, the report that Trump minimized his tax bill allows him to draw a distinction, in his words, ‘between Scranton and Park Avenue’ — his symbols for abundant wealth and the working-class environment into which he was born in Pennsylvania.”
“For Trump, spokesman Hogan Gidley said, the campaign welcomes a discussion on taxes — even if it’s about the candidate avoiding paying them — so the Trump camp can highlight what it says is Biden’s plan to raise taxes once in office.”
Vanessa Williamson: Biden could use Trump’s returns to shift the debate on taxes.
