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.

Checking in on abortion ballot measures around the country

We are watching the 10 states with abortion measures on the ballot tonight. A few of these have been called: As we noted moments ago, in Florida, the abortion amendment is projected to fail to reach the 60% threshold needed to pass. In Maryland, Question 1, which would add a section to the state constitution guaranteeing a right to reproductive freedom, is projected to pass, with 74% voting for the amendment with 63% of the expected vote reporting. In New York, Proposition 1, which would also change their constitution to protect reproductive freedom, is projected to pass, with 68% voting yes with 49% of the expected vote reporting.

We’re watching the ballot measures in remaining states which remain too close to call, and will continue to update the liveblog throughout the night.

How are the candidates performing in battleground North Carolina?

With 55% of the expected vote in for North Carolina, I'm identifying patterns for the counties in and around the state's biggest metro areas. Harris is meeting or slightly exceeding her benchmarks in counties that comprise the Research Triangle -- Wake, Durham and Orange -- with at least 75% of the vote reported in each. On the flip side in Union County, just outside of Charlotte, Trump is outperforming his benchmark of R+22.8 by 2 points with more than 95% of the vote reported there.
