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 is expected to win Indiana's 11 electoral votes. That is not a surprise. In previous elections, he won the state by 57 percent to 38 percent over Clinton in 2016, and 55 to 32 over Biden in 2020.
Now that all polls have closed in Vermont and Kentucky, ABC News is projecting that Harris will win Vermont's three electoral votes, and that Trump will win Kentucky's eight votes. Of course, this should come as no surprise; according to the final 538 forecast in these two states, there was a less than 1 in 100 chance of either state flipping its support from the party it backed in 2020.
There are "residual issues" including long lines at the polls in Apache County, Arizona, after the machines that print ballots "did not work as planned" Tuesday morning, state officials said.
The countywide issue was fixed earlier in the day and most sites in the county are "up and running well but as we understand at this moment, there are still some residual issues out in Apache County," Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes said. "We're doing our best to work with county election officials there to see if we can resolve any of the remaining problems."
Rita Vaughan, the elections director for Apache County, told ABC News that "all polling places have remained open and voting has continued all day for registered voters who want to cast their ballots."
Milwaukee will have to retabulate approximately 30,000 absentee ballots after a human error at the city's central ballot processing location, likely delaying the city's final results by hours.
A door to several tabulators was not properly sealed, according to Jeff Fleming of the Milwaukee mayor's office.
"The people operating the machines along both walls -- the 13 machines -- are being reset to zero," Fleming said. "They will rerun all the ballots that they previously ran after it has been reset."
Milwaukee received a total of 106,000 absentee ballots, which are processed at the city's Baird Convention Center. The city cannot report the results of the absentee ballots until every ballot is counted, per Wisconsin law.
"We're guessing, you know, one hour, two hours, three hours, four. We just don't know at this stage," Fleming said about the delay.
Fleming said the issue was "human error" that he blamed on "senior election staff."
"We want to make sure everybody understands that our goal here in this room is to be absolutely accurate beyond any question, and to do that, we're going to rerun the balance," Fleming said.
