I am excited to introduce the first members of the newsrooms Election Data Analytics team, a new group tasked with expanding election-related analytical journalism. This group is part of our ambitious plan to expand the breadth and depth of our data journalism, which has already become a signature part of our report.

The Times has become the pre-eminent destination on election nights for tens of millions of Americans who turn to us for the latest election results and for clear statistical analysis that demonstrates how the races are actually playing out. But we want to continue to innovate in this area. As we head into the midterms and look toward the 2024 presidential election, we must expand our ability to quickly understand, analyze and explain the election particularly at this moment, when the credibility of election results reporting, data and analysis is more important than ever before.

The Elections Data Analytics team will be joined by Nate Cohn, our chief political analyst, and other members of The Upshot to initially focus on two of the biggest hallmarks of our elections coverage: our public opinion surveys and the statistical models that power the Needle. This work will also bolster The Timess ability to call races when necessary.
