Maggie Astor: I'd be remiss if I didn't add that, while my byline is on this project, it was a huge group effort — especially by my colleagues Nico Chilla and Rebecca Lieberman, who are responsible for the design.

Excited to introduce a project I've been working on for a long time: a thorough comparison of Biden and Trump on the issues. "The stakes, not the odds," to borrow from Jay Rosen. The initial version has 6 topics, but I'll be adding more, as well as updating with new statements/policies. Gift link:

Where Joe Biden and Donald Trump Stand on the Issueswww.nytimes.com Here’s what President Biden and former President Donald J. Trump have done and want to do on abortion, democracy, the economy, immigration, Israel and Gaza, and Social Security and Medicare.

Each topic starts with a brief comparison, and then you can delve deeper. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Click on one of the sub-topics — say, "transfer of power" from the screenshot above — and there's much more. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Are there topics you'd like me to add? Let me know. (Current to-do list, in alphabetical order, not order of priority: China, climate, crime, education, guns, health care, labor, public health, technology, trans rights, Ukraine.)

And more than a dozen colleagues with subject-matter expertise in various areas reviewed a section or a paragraph or even just a sentence. For example, I am not an expert on Federal Reserve policy, but my colleague Jeanna Smialek is, so she reviewed what I wrote about interest rates.
