Part of the White House disclosure dump coming out tonight includes the assets of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner:

The upper estimate, from the NYT: Ethics filings show Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner are worth as much as $741 million, and she has kept a stake in Washington's Trump Hotel.
The lowball number, from the AP: "[H]olding onto scores of real estate investments — part of a portfolio of at least $240 million in assets — while they serve in White House jobs ... Jared Kushner, Trump's senior adviser, resigned from more than 260 entities and sold off 58 businesses or investments..."
Ivanka kept her share in the Trump Hotel in DC, "earning between $1 million and $5 million from January 2016 to March 2017."

Primary elections are being held on Tuesday in Minnesota, Georgia, Connecticut, Vermont and Wisconsin.

The big picture: Georgia and Wisconsin both struggled to hold primaries during the coronavirus pandemic, but are doing so again — testing their voting systems ahead of the general election. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is facing a strong challenger as she fights for her political career. In Georgia, a Republican primary runoff pits a QAnon supporter against a hardline conservative.
