I suspect that indeed everything about the state of his finances is already in the public domain. For example, it's well known in some circles that he isn't nearly as wealthy as he claims to be, and probably isn't really a billionaire. However, if his financial statements are released by his accounting firm, then it's "official", while at the moment it's still rumour and gossip.
It reminds me of how he often boasts that he was top in his class at the prestigious Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, yet had threatened the University of Pennsylvania with litigation should his academic record ever be leaked. This is especially ironic considering that he used to challenge Obama to release his academic records.

'Devastated': As Layoffs Keep Coming, Hopes Fade That Jobs Will Return Quickly
Applications for jobless benefits are up again. "What we're seeing now is that lots more people who are unemployed are going to be unemployed for a longer period of time," economist Nick Bunker says.

'Devastated': As Layoffs Keep Coming, Hopes Fade That Jobs Will Return Quickly
From airlines to paper mills, the job news is grim, and there are growing signs it won't be getting better anytime soon. On Thursday, the Labor Department reported nearly 2.4 million new applications for state and federal unemployment benefits last week.
And United Airlines is warning that it may have to furlough as many as 36,000 employees this fall. Demand for air travel has collapsed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
The president of the flight attendants union called the warning a "gut punch" but also "the most honest assessment we've seen on the state of the industry — and our entire economy."
Union President Sara Nelson tweeted that demand for air travel had recovered a small fraction of its pre-pandemic levels this summer and "even those minimal gains evaporated over the last week due to surging COVID-19 cases across the country."

Also, he actually promised to release them, aeons ago.
He's literally golfed a full year of his presidency.

There's a perception that Biden did particularly badly in the Democratic debates but I don't think that is true. There were some times he was weak, of course, but in some others, he put in an "above average" performance. Just remember he did win the Democratic nomination after all.

Biden finally shows up to the debate stage — just in time
The former VP's strongest debate performance to date could help reassure supporters ahead of a make-or-break stretch for his campaign.www.politico.com
Thing is, though - he's never been a rally candidate. That's just not his thing, and no one really cares because it's not all that important.
Yelling at people who already like you for 3 hours doesn't do much.
Also, there's a big own goal lurking here by the Trump campaign. If you constantly claim Biden is a senile, doddering fool who can't speak without drooling - what happens when you've got the debates and he... isn't that?

Fauci seems to be more free to speak his opinion these days

Fauci: ‘I Don’t Think You Can Say We’re Doing Great. I Mean, We’re Just Not.’
AR You know, for a few months, masks were quite a partisan issue, though in the past few weeks politicians on both sides have advocated for their use. Do you think America’s hyperpartisan environment has made it more difficult to suppress the virus?
AF: You know, I think you’d have to admit that that’s the case. We live, I mean, you have to be having blindfolders on and covering your ears to think that we don’t live in a very divisive society now, from a political standpoint. I mean, it’s just unfortunate, but it is what it is. And you know, from experience historically, that when you don’t have unanimity in an approach to something, you’re not as effective in how you handle it. So I think you’d have to make the assumption that if there wasn’t such divisiveness, that we would have a more coordinated approach.
