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.

Other ballot measures to watch tonight

My colleagues have already taken you through some of 2024's highest-profile ballot measures, but that's just the tip of the iceberg! There are 146 statewide ballot measures being decided today, and they could result in some immediate, dramatic changes to state policy. Here are some of the most important measures to watch:

Eight states (plus Washington, D.C.) could dramatically change how they decide elections this year. Colorado and Idaho could vote to switch to a top-four primary and a ranked-choice general election. Alaska could vote to abolish such a system and return to partisan primaries. Nevada could implement a similar system but with a top-five primary. Montana could switch to a top-four primary with a TBD general election system, while Arizona could switch to a TBD primary system with a ranked-choice general election. South Dakota could also switch to a more conventional top-two primary, while Oregon and Washington, D.C., could add ranked-choice voting to their existing primary system.

Ohio could create an independent commission to draw the state's congressional and state legislative districts and require them to reflect the partisan balance of the state. However, it could be torpedoed by biased ballot language written by Republicans that says the commission would be "required to gerrymander."

Eight states (Iowa, Idaho, Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Wisconsin) will vote on ballot measures that would prohibit noncitizens from voting. However, this is already illegal at the federal level, and although 19 cities nationwide allow noncitizens to vote in local elections, none of them are in these eight states.

Three states (Florida, North Dakota and South Dakota) could legalize recreational marijuana. Massachusetts could go even further and legalize psychedelics. On the other hand, California could increase penalties for drug possession. The Golden State is also considering whether to lift restrictions on rent control to alleviate the state's high housing costs. And Arizona could make it a state crime to cross the border illegally.

Finally, there are a few ballot measures dealing with topics you don't normally associate with politics. For instance, Missouri will vote on whether to legalize sports betting, while Maine will decide whether to adopt a new state flag.

Abortion, marijuana, psychedelics, involuntary servitude and minimum wage are just some of the initiatives states have put up for a vote.
