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.

Republicans projected to retain control of New Jersey’s 7th District

ABC News is projecting that Republican Rep. Tom Kean, Jr. will retain control of New Jersey's 7th District. With 85% of the expected vote in, he currently leads his Democratic opponent, Sue Altman, 52% to 46%.

The race was closely monitored by political prognosticators as the results here could impact which party ultimately controls of the U.S. House. Beyond that, the race was worth watching for a number of other reasons. For starters, while New Jersey itself is solidly blue, the 7th District is the state's only swing one, and Democrats were hoping to flip it blue again. (In 2022, after the district was redrawn to become more favorable to the GOP, Kean, Jr. successfully unseated Tom Malinowski, a Democrat.) A win tonight for Kean, Jr. doesn't mean that the district will stay red forever, though. NJ-07 is the only one in the state that, theoretically, could be up for grabs by either major political party in a competitive election year. It has a partisan lean of R+3.

Notably, polling ahead of tonight predicted a much closer race. An October Monmouth University survey found that while Kean, Jr. had an edge with voters on issues including the economy and immigration, they trusted Altman more on abortion policy. When it came down to who to vote for, the survey found the two candidates essentially deadlocked: 46% of registered voters said they "definitely" planned to back Kean, Jr., compared with 44% who were clearly in Altman's camp.

Kean, Jr. should be a loyal vote to the GOP House caucus next year. During his reelection bid, he primarily stuck to his party's talking points, including drumming up fear regarding migrants entering the U.S.. Notably, during a candidate debate, he briefly froze when asked whether he supports Trump's mass deportation plan. "We need to ensure that we have the people who can be leaders, to find the common ground, to secure our southern border, and to. He breaks with some of his party's members on at least one issue, though: He says he supports "reasonable" restrictions on abortion, including banning the procedure after 20 weeks.
