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.

Maryland election boards receive bomb threats as ballots are counted

Several Maryland boards of elections received bomb threats Friday night, the state administrator of elections said on X.

Elections officials were in the process of counting ballots.

“Currently several local boards of elections received bomb threats. Buildings are evacuated and everyone is safe,” Jared DeMarinis said.

"This madness must stop," the administrator said, adding that law enforcement and federal officials were involved in the response.

In a later post, he said, while safety is a top concern, ballot counting would resume Saturday.

Steve Witkoff and Kelly Loeffler expected to lead Trump's inaugural efforts

Former President Donald Trump's close friend Steve Witkoff and former Georgia Sen. Kelly Loeffler have been tapped to lead the Trump inauguration efforts, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.

Both Witkoff and Loeffler have been among the biggest fundraisers for Trump this election cycle, hosting multiple key campaign fundraisers as well as accompanying him to campaign rallies. Witkoff was also the friend golfing with Trump during the second attempt on his life in West Palm Beach.

Trump's first inaugural committee in 2017 raised a total of $107 million from more than 1,000 individual and corporate donors, and it's expected to be a big operation this time around as well.

Inaugural committees are not bound by federal campaign contribution limits, so it's an opportunity for donors and corporate interests to express their unlimited support for the second Trump administration.
