President-elect Donald Trump is naming members to his administration. Here's a look at the president-elect's appointees so far.
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.
Trump claims in his victory speech that he has won the popular vote. That's a little premature; while he does currently have 5 million more votes than Harris, Harris is expected to add to her total as more ballots are counted in states like California. If Trump does win the popular vote, it will be a remarkable achievement: Only one Republican (George W. Bush in 2004) in the last eight presidential elections has done so.

When will Wisconsin be projected?
Wisconsin could be one of the next states to be projected. One of the big things we're waiting for there is for all the absentee ballots in Milwaukee to be counted, which is done all together at a central location. According to Alison Dirr of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, that process is just getting started.
