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.
See how the balance of power is playing out as election results come in:

The vice president is preparing to deliver a speech tonight, sources close to Harris' campaign team told ABC News.
The sources said they are expecting her to speak, but what she says depends on the results that are known at that time.
Regardless, one source says the Harris wants to thank everyone.
The plans are subject to change, according to the sources.
ABC News is projecting that independent Sen. Bernie Sanders has won reelection in Vermont, and it's also projecting that Republican Gov. Phil Scott has won reelection.
Sanders sits to the left of most Democrats in the Senate (but is part of that party's caucus), so it's fascinating to see such a split result in one of the country's bluest states. However, Scott is incredibly popular and is one of the only high-profile Republicans left in office who has turned against Trump - so much so that he said he voted for Harris in the presidential election.
Georgia is one of the seven most important swing states in this presidential election, and the early returns there don't reveal much about the direction it may be headed. Now, Trump leads with about 60% to Harris' 40% with only 9% of the state's expected vote reporting.
But notably, the two Atlanta-area metro counties that have reported at least 70% of their expected vote are both notably bluer than they were in 2020, while many other more rural counties in the state that have reported that much are notably redder.
Still, around three-fourths of Georgia's vote so far is estimated to be early in-person or absentee, which should be at least somewhat more favorable to Democrats than Election Day votes. However, the extent of that partisan split in preferred vote method - so apparent in 2020 - remains to be seen.
There are 18 states that have never had a female governor. Tonight, two Democratic female candidates could break their state's dry spell: Jennifer McCormick in Indiana and Crystal Quade in Missouri. But because both these states lean red, it remains unlikely.
Currently, more women are serving as governor simultaneously than ever before. It's just 12.
