Trump bragged about not paying taxes four years ago and his supporters convinced themselves it was because he was smart enough to avoid them. I don't think normal rules or logic and reason apply to this election (if they ever did). Trump's not going to expand his base much more than he already has but his people are enthusiastic supporters, Biden's aren't.
If Biden ran on popular policies like universal healthcare, he'd sweep the election easily but instead he's chasing the mythical moderate Republican vote while alienating huge numbers of progressive and independent voters. He should still win but he's making it far closer than it needs to be.
Americans think paying tax is for chumps, especially republicans, it will have no affect on voting imo.
