Election 2024 updates: Trump begins selecting cabinet positions

Vice President Kamala Harris is the projected winner in Maine, ABC News reports.

Harris won three of the state's electoral votes, with Trump winning one for Maine's 2nd congressional district.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is prepared to give President-elect Donald Trump intelligence briefings as part of his transition back to the White House.

"ODNI is acting consistent with the tradition, in place since 1952, of providing intelligence briefing to the President-elect," DNI said in a statement to ABC News.

Sources tell ABC News that Trump has yet to receive an intelligence briefing as president-elect. It's not clear whether he will even agree or want to receive them, though some members of his transition team have suggested he should.

As Democrats pick up the pieces following President-elect Donald Trump's decisive victory, some of the vice president's backers are expressing frustration that Biden's decision to seek reelection until this summer - despite longstanding voter concerns about his age and unease about post-pandemic inflation as well as the U.S.-Mexico border - all but sealed his party's loss of the White House.

"The biggest onus of this loss is on President Biden," said Andrew Yang, who ran against Biden in 2020 for the Democratic nomination and endorsed Harris' unsuccessful run. "If he had stepped down in January instead of July, we may be in a very different place."

Biden is set to deliver a Rose Garden address Thursday about the election. He issued a statement shortly after Harris delivered her concession speech on Wednesday, praising Harris for running an "historic campaign" under "extraordinary circumstances."

The NAACP organization will seek common ground to work with President-elect Donald Trump's administration, President Derrick Johnson said in a statement.

In the 2024 election cycle, the NAACP spent $20 million to get out the vote and mobilize 14.5 million Black voters.

While the organization did not and does not endorse candidates, the group has agreed to work to advance policies that they believe support the advancement of Black and Brown Americans.

"Our resolve remains stronger than ever as we advocate for policies that dismantle systemic injustices and support the American dream. This new chapter presents an opportunity to chart a course that unites Americans through integrity, understanding, and inclusion," Johnson said on Wednesday.

"Where there is common ground, we will strive to collaborate with the President-elect and his administration. The NAACP is loyal not to politicians, but to policies that allow us to keep advancing, no matter what," Johnson added.
