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.

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.

And so far, more votes have been counted for him than for Harris in Arizona, Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin as well. That raises the possibility that he could sweep all seven states for a 312-226 Electoral College victory.

Will Trump win the popular vote?

Trump claims in his victory speech that he has won the popular vote. That's a little premature; while he does currently have 5 million more votes than Harris, Harris is expected to add to her total as more ballots are counted in states like California. If Trump does win the popular vote, it will be a remarkable achievement: Only one Republican (George W. Bush in 2004) in the last eight presidential elections has done so.
