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.

Mississippi and its six Electoral College votes go to Trump.
Like its neighbor Alabama, Mississippi was last won by a Democrat in 1976, when Southerner Jimmy Carter won the presidency in what was the last gasp of the "Solid South." What was once one of the most reliable Democratic regions of the country is now one of the most reliably Republican regions.
At 73% of the vote reporting, ABC News has projected Trump will carry Ohio, and its 17 Electoral College votes.
They also project Democrat Greg Landsman will defeat Republican Orlando Sonza in Ohio's 1st Congressional District in central and northeast Cincinnati. Landsman leads 53%-47%, with 82% of the expected vote reporting.
ABC News projects Trump will carry the deep-red states of Montana and Utah, combining for 10 electoral votes in his column.
The ABC News Decision Desk has projected Kamala Harris will win Colorado's 10 Electoral College votes.
