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.

Democrats are leading a lot of statewide races in North Carolina

What's interesting to me about North Carolina this year is that Democrats appear to have performed fairly well in the statewide offices this year. According to the AP, Democrat Jeff Jackson is projected to win the attorney general race against Republican Dan Bishop, and Democrats are currently leading in the secretary of state race, the lieutenant governor's race and the race for superintendent of public instruction. They, of course, were projected to clinched the governor's race earlier tonight, according to the AP. There's a few other statewide races where Republicans lead as well, but North Carolina appears to continue to be a state where voters are very willing to split their tickets, depending on the candidates on the ballot.

Democrats hold suburban Pittsburgh seat

ABC News has projected that Democratic Rep. Chris Deluzio will win reelection in Pennsylvania's 17th District, which takes in much of the turf around Pittsburgh. The blue-leaning seat will remain in the Democratic column, but Republicans might have a chance of flipping two eastern Pennsylvania seats, the 7th and 8th, which we are keeping a close eye on.
