Just days after former President Donald Trump was projected to have won the presidency, Trump's transition team operation has begun, with transition co-chairs confirming that he will be selecting personnel to serve under his leadership in the coming days.
Trump is also the projected winner in Arizona, a state the former president flipped after losing it to Joe Biden in 2020.
Trump's projected win in the vital swing state marks a sweep of the battleground states.

ABC News is projecting that Trump will carry Louisiana.
Nothing surprising here as the state has been firmly in the GOP column in presidential races since it moved away from Democrats in the 2000 election.
We have about 22% of the expected vote reporting from Pennsylvania, and Harris leads Trump by about 17 points, 58% to 41%. However, her ability to hold onto the lead in Pennsylvania with so many votes left is definitely open to question.
Many of the big blue counties in the state (Philadelphia, Allegheny, Montgomery and Delaware) haven't reported that many votes yet, but the ones they have are, in many cases, mail ballots or other more Democratic-leaning tranches that have Harris doing much better than Biden.
Once we get more Election Day votes in the tally, however, the state will be much tighter.
With 60% of the vote reporting, ABC News is projecting that Harris has won Delaware's three electoral votes.
In the race for Senate, ABC News is also projecting Democratic Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester has won.
Blunt Rochester is the first woman and first Black person to represent Delaware in the Senate. She was previously the first woman and the first Black person to represent the state in Congress.
A measure that would have enshrined protections for abortion rights in Florida's state constitution failed to reach the 60% threshold needed to pass, ABC News projects.
Florida has a six-week abortion ban in effect, with exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother. If it had been approved, the provision would have allowed abortions to resume in a state that was a key access point for abortion care for women across the South before the state's ban went into effect in April.
The initiative would have amended the state's constitution to add protections for abortion, outlawing legislation that prohibits, penalizes, delays or restricts abortion care before viability or when necessary to protect a patient's health.
This is the first abortion-related ballot initiative to fail since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.
Voters in six states -- California, Kansas, Kentucky, Montana, Michigan and Vermont -- already upheld abortion rights through ballot initiatives in the 2022 midterm elections.
At least 14 states have ceased nearly all abortion services since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. In total, 21 states have restrictions on abortion in effect.
Fifty-seven percent of voters approved the ballot initiative, three percentage points short of passing.
Florida voted down the initiative even as voters there favor legal abortion by 65%. Among supporters of legal abortion, 14% voted against the amendment, according to preliminary exit poll results.
