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.

Three more House projections

ABC News has made three more projections in the battle for the House.

-In Ohio's 13th District, Democratic Rep. Emilia Sykes has won reelection. We had this district rated Likely Democratic, but it's currently just a 2-point race.

-Republican Tom Barrett has won Michigan's 7th District. That's big for Republicans because this is currently a Democratic-held seat.

-Republican Rep. Mike Lawler has won reelection in New York's 17th District. Biden won this district handily in 2020, but Lawler proved a strong incumbent.

A GOP hold and a tight race in Iowa’s competitive House seats

ABC News has projected that Rep. Zach Nunn will hold onto his seat in Iowa’s 3rd District, fending off Democratic challenger Lanon Baccam. Baccam had a lead earlier this evening, but will fall short by around 4 points.

Meanwhile, Mary wrote earlier about the tight race in the 1st District between Republican Rep. Miller-Meeks and challenger Christina Bohannan, who had a small lead earlier in the evening. The last few counties may be enough to put Miller-Meeks over the edge. She’s leading by fewer than 500 votes with 98% of the vote reporting…. Though that'd still be a bigger lead than her 6-vote win back in 2020.
