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.

For the Dems to win the Senate, they need seats from GOP-leaning states

With ABC News projecting that the Republican candidate will take West Virginia, the Democrats have lost one of their red-state Senate seats. More are on the ballot today, including in Ohio and Montana. But as I said before, and I'll probably say again, in most years, a Senate where every state votes for the same party for Senate and president is a Senate where the Democrats fall short of a majority.

Trump is projected to carry South Carolina’s 9 electoral votes

Unsurprisingly, ABC News projects that Trump will win in South Carolina, a state that has been reliably red in presidential races since at least 1984. (Republicans won the state in 1980 also, but not by a very large margin.)

Also in the Palmetto State tonight, a ballot referendum that would prohibit noncitizens from voting in state and local elections, one of a raft of such measures around the country. With 23% of the expected vote reporting, the measure looks almost sure to pass: 84% of voters have voted in favor, with 16% opposed.

Donald Trump will win South Carolina, ABC News projects.

Are Republican women secretly voting for Harris?

You probably saw the viral campaign ad, voiced by Julia Roberts, where a MAGA wife and her husband go to the polls, and the wife secretly votes for Harris. While we don't know if this is common or not, according to a recent survey by Gender on the Ballot, 20% of Republican women say they sometimes or regularly feel pressure from their partner to agree with them politically compared to 16% of Democrats.
