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.

With ABC News projecting that the Republican candidate will take West Virginia, the Democrats have lost one of their red-state Senate seats. More are on the ballot today, including in Ohio and Montana. But as I said before, and I'll probably say again, in most years, a Senate where every state votes for the same party for Senate and president is a Senate where the Democrats fall short of a majority.
