The alternative minimum tax, nbc news hasnt seen the tax documents, and for his part the president as you can imagine calling the story fake news. Im joined by Washington Post national reporter. And wnyc Senior Reporter who hosts the trump inc. Podcast, all about the money behind the trump empire. How much did this New York Times enlighten us about the president s finances . Well, it really filled in a lot of the details on stuff that we had been wondering about for all these years.

Which group are leaning biden and where might President Trump have an advantage. The gender gap we are talking about all year in this case continues to astound. Among likely female voters biden 61 . Trump 37 . Among voters of color, you see biden at 71 , donald trump at 24 . Among seniors, a group that donald trump won by seven points nationally in 2016, he is down 11. 55 biden and 44 trump. I do want to go back and just show you where we are as it relates to men, okay . They split almost evenly. 47 biden and 48 trump. So while joe biden has a huge lead with women, donald trump doesnt compensate for that deficit by making it up with men. They are basically splitting it evenly. We see the same with white voters. They basically split that evenly while joe bid
