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.

It's always a big moment on election night when massive Miami-Dade County in Florida reports its first batch of votes - and it just did. With 70% of the expected vote counted in the county, Trump is at 55% and Harris is at 44%. If that holds, it would be another huge shift rightward for the heavily Hispanic county. It voted for Biden by 7 points in 2020.
ABC News is also projecting that Republican Jim Banks will win the Senate race over Democrat Valerie McCray in Indiana. Banks is a Trump supporter who voted against certifying the 2020 election won by Biden, and Trump endorsed him in this race. Democrats haven't won a Senate race in the state since 2012.
A top Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security official said there is "no evidence" that there is cheating in Philadelphia and Detroit as former President Donald Trump has claimed.
"We have been in very close contact with state and local election officials across the country, and we see no data or reporting to support these claims," Cait Conley, the senior adviser to the CISA Director and head of elections said on a call with reporters.
Nationally, Conley said officials "are not currently tracking any significant incidents with national level impacts to election infrastructure security."
Additionally, she said officials expect to see Russian disinformation actors piggyback off the hoax bomb threats that were sent to Arizona, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin by the Russians.
"We should not be surprised if we do," she said in response to a question about Russian actors using the hoax bomb threats. "Our adversaries are specifically intent on leveraging opportunities to spin narratives to undermine confidence."
Actor Paul Rudd visited Villanova University on Tuesday, where students and residents waited longer than two hours to vote.
He handed out water and snacks, thanking voters along the way.
"It is crazy, we've been waiting out here for two hours, now they got Paul Rudd out here," said Erin Spillane, a Villanova senior.
Pennsylvania is a critical swing state in this election, drawing a lot of attention from both sides as candidates and celebrities visited the state multiple times leading up to Election Day.
In the last two elections, the candidate who won Pennsylvania won the election.
Students at Villanova said they were grateful to be able to cast their vote on campus.
"It's really a great experience that they can make it so convenient for students," said Dean Mullin, a sophomore.
