“Nonetheless, the president has hope that this would sort of splash enough mud on the Biden family and the Biden campaign, that it would turn the tide of this election. It would cause people to stop trusting Joe Biden's judgment and start this sort of nagging doubt that Biden might just be in it for himself. So far, that hasn't played out the way the president has wanted. His griped that the media won't cover the story to the degree he wants them to cover it. And we'll see if it moves any voters. There are a lot of Republicans who argue the president should be arguing about the economy and things that matter to voters and that this Hunter Biden laptop story isn't going to move a lot of voters ahead of Election Day. Notably, there have been many news stories investigating the president's financial dealings. On September 27th, 2020, The New York Times released a trove of tax information about the president revealing he paid 750 dollars in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017 and he paid no income taxes in 10 of the previous 15 years.”
