Trump's cabinet picks include close allies from his campaign
President-elect Donald Trump is naming members to his administration. Here's a look at the president-elect's appointees so far.

Trump is also the projected winner in Arizona, a state the former president flipped after losing it to Joe Biden in 2020.

Republicans gain control of the Senate, ABC News projects

ABC News projects that Republicans will gain control of the Senate in the 119th Congress, set to begin on Jan. 3, 2025. ABC News has projected Republican pickups in Ohio and West Virginia, which puts the GOP at 51 seats, and Republicans currently hold narrow leads in Michigan, Montana, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Nevada also looks very close, so the GOP could in theory secure as many as 56 seats based on the way results look right now.
