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.

New York projected to go for Harris, but lots of House races still TBD

ABC News has projected that Harris will win New York and its 28 electoral votes. With 36% of the expected vote reporting there, she's ahead by 30 points, although that margin will come down to some extent as more votes are reported (based on what's outstanding).

In the Senate race, ABC News has also projected that Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand will easily win reelection, too. The big thing to watch in New York, though, is the state's half-dozen competitive House races. But each of those remains far from decided at this point.

Kamala Harris will win New York and Rhode Island, and Donald Trump will win Louisiana, ABC News projects.

The Senate's most liberal Senator (by one metric) returns

Democrat Elizabeth Warren is projected by ABC to be reelected senator from Massachusetts. Warren, who the widely used DW-NOMINATE ideological score places as the most liberal sitting U.S. senator, joined the Senate in 2013 after defeating incumbent Republican Scott Brown, who himself won a surprising special election to fill the seat formerly held by Democrat Ted Kennedy.

ABC News has projected that Delaware state Sen. Sarah McBride has won election to her state's at-large congressional district, making her the first openly transgender person to be elected to Congress.
