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.

In an email sent to the Harris campaign staff obtained by ABC News, Harris campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon says: "I’ll leave you with this: losing is unfathomably painful. It is hard. This will take a long time to process. But the work of protecting America from the impacts of a Trump Presidency starts now."

Dillon adds that Harris told Trump that she would work with Biden to ensure a peaceful transfer of power, unlike what happened in 2020. Harris will also hold an all-staff call after her speech to talk about the road ahead.
