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.

Redistricting could play a key role in the fight to control the House

While congressional redistricting typically only happens every 10 years, coinciding with the U.S. Census, five states nevertheless changed their congressional district lines since the 2022 midterm elections due to court-ordered redistricting. These changes can greatly impact the race for control of Congress, since even small shifts in district lines can change the partisan lean of those seats in big ways. Move a boundary a little bit here and a little bit there, and all of a sudden a district that was solidly Republican is now a toss-up (or the other way around). This is even more true in cases where a state's map saw more radical alterations.

In three states, redistricting was mandated under the Voting Rights Act, which in some cases requires the creation of majority-minority districts. Alabama and Louisiana each saw their congressional maps struck down and redrawn to include an additional majority-Black seat, both of which are likely pickups for Democrats. In Georgia, despite redistricting that boosted the number of Black voters in an Atlanta-area district, the new map isn't likely to result in any changes to the state's congressional delegation.

In North Carolina and New York, state supreme courts overturned prior maps as unconstitutional and allowed their state legislatures to redraw the lines to be more favorable to one party or the other. While North Carolina's state legislature aggressively gerrymandered their new map in favor of Republicans, New York's state legislature left their lines mostly unchanged, making tweaks that only minorly benefit Democrats.

All told, Republicans stand to pick up three to four seats in North Carolina thanks to redistricting, while Democrats look positioned to grab two across Alabama and Louisiana. The smaller changes in New York could also help Democrats in a number of competitive races there. Given the tight margins in the current Congress, control of the House of Representatives could ultimately come down to the changes to these states' congressional maps.
