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.

With Arizona, Trump sweeps all 7 swing states

President-elect Donald Trump is the projected winner of all seven closely watched battleground states in the 2024 election, ABC News reports.

The final tally of swing state victories comes after Trump was projected to win Arizona -- the final state, overall, to have a projected winner after Tuesday's presidential election.

On the campaign trail, Trump and his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, both made repeated visits to the seven battleground states.

Trump's sweep of the swing states netted him 93 total electoral votes.

His margin of victories in the swing states ranged from more than 189,000 votes in North Carolina to a much narrower 30,000 votes in Wisconsin, according to unofficial vote tallies.

With the projection for Arizona, the final electoral count for the 2024 election is 312 electoral votes for Trump and 226 for Harris.

That bests Trump's previous 304-227 showing in 2016 against Hillary Clinton and also tops President Joe Biden's 306-232 win over Trump in the 2020 election.

Steve Witkoff and Kelly Loeffler to lead Trump's inaugural efforts

President-elect Donald Trump announced on Saturday that his close friend Steve Witkoff and former Georgia Sen. Kelly Loeffler will co-chair the Trump Vance Inaugural Committee, as ABC News reported yesterday.

"This will be the kick-off to my administration, which will deliver on bold promises to Make America Great Again. Together, we will celebrate this moment, steeped on history and tradition, and then get to work to achieve the most incredible future for our people, restoring strength, success, and common sense to the Oval Office," Trump said in a statement.

Witkoff and Loeffler have been among the biggest fundraisers for Trump this election cycle, hosting multiple key campaign fundraisers as well as accompanying him to campaign rallies.

All eyes on Mark Robinson — and his potential effect on a Trump win in North Carolina

As polls get ready to close in North Carolina, I wanted to bring attention to one of the biggest races on the ballot: the battle for the governorship, where the available evidence suggests that Republican Mark Robinson's chances of winning are slim as Democrat Josh Stein maintains a double-digit lead in the most surveys.

Robinson, the current lieutenant governor, has consistently trailed against Stein, but the distance between the two swelled after a September CNN report alleged that the Republican posted racist and transphobic messages on a porn forum more than a decade ago. The CNN report claims that, on one of the site's message boards, Robinson referred to himself as a "Black NAZI" and "perv," among many other degrading things. Robinson has denied that he wrote these posts, but he has a longstanding history of making disparaging comments. He once called the Holocaust " hogwash" and said that "transgenderism and homosexuality are " filth."

According to a New York Times/Siena College poll of likely voters in the Tar Heel State, Stein, the state's attorney general, has 56% support compared to Robinson's 38%. But a double-digit win of this magnitude would be historic in North Carolina. The last Democrat to win a gubernatorial race by this predicted margin was Governor Jim Hunt in 1980.

Of course, one of the biggest questions heading into tonight is whether Robinson will drag down Trump. But it doesn't look like that'll be the case. 538's forecast has Trump winning North Carolina 62 out of 100 times, which suggests that Robinson's political fallout might not affect Trump to any large degree. But even before the Robinson drama, the presidential race here was expected to be a tight one. Trump only won the state by one percentage point in 2020.

For whatever it's worth, Trump never rescinded his endorsement of Robinson, though he's distanced himself from the embattled Republican since this summer. And North Carolina's voters have a history of ticket splitting that could benefit Trump — even if it hurts Robinson: In 2000, for instance, Republican George W. Bush won the state with 56% of the vote. That same year, Democratic Governor Mike Easley was elected by an almost-similar margin.
