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.

I'm getting 2020 vibes

It's past 9 p.m. Eastern, and it still feels like we don't know much about who will win the presidential race. Neither Harris nor Trump is doing notably better than expected, so here in the 538 office, it feels like we're settling in to watch states like Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania come down to the wire. It reminds me of 2020, when the race also didn't have a clear leader until a day or two after Election Day.

So overall, it's looking like the polls were right and the race is going to be close. That means we may not know the winner for a couple days.

Abortion rights amendment is projected to be defeated in Florida

ABC News projects that the ballot initiative that would have granted Floridians the right to an abortion will come just shy of its needed 60% threshold to pass. It's at 57% yes to 43% no with 86% of the expected vote reporting. Of course abortion remains a huge issue this year, and nine other states are voting on abortion rights ballot initiatives tonight. Florida has required a supermajority of 60% for constitutional ballot amendments to pass an initiative requiring it passed in 2006>).

Georgia trends Trump, Harris will need help from big Democratic vote bases

With about two-thirds of Georgia's expected vote reporting, Trump leads by 6 points, 53% to 47%. Among the counties where at least 90% of the expected vote has reported (53 of the state's 159 counties), Trump is doing about 3 points better in margin than he did in 2020 against Biden. In a state Biden carried by just 0.24 points, a statewide trend like that across all counties would surely mean victory for Trump.

Harris' hopes lie in gaining votes in some of the big Atlanta-area counties that were pivotal to Biden's win, as none of those has reported more than about three-fourths of the expected vote yet (and Gwinnett County has reported only 16% of its expected vote). The good news for her is that she's running ahead of Biden in some of those places; the bad news is that some of those counties still have more GOP-leaning Election Day votes to process.

How are the candidates performing in battleground North Carolina?

With 55% of the expected vote in for North Carolina, I'm identifying patterns for the counties in and around the state's biggest metro areas. Harris is meeting or slightly exceeding her benchmarks in counties that comprise the Research Triangle -- Wake, Durham and Orange -- with at least 75% of the vote reported in each. On the flip side in Union County, just outside of Charlotte, Trump is outperforming his benchmark of R+22.8 by 2 points with more than 95% of the vote reported there.
