Conservative activist Scott Presler revealed during an interview with Morning Wire why he believes former President Donald Trump will win the vital battleground state of Pennsylvania in the 2024 election.
Presler, the head of Early Vote Action PAC, has been effectively leading grassroots efforts in Pennsylvania to register people to vote, taking aim at Amish residents and hunters, in particular, who are generally conservative and have low rates of voter turnout.
“Let’s talk about the data for a second and why I think, objectively, we’re in the best place to win Pennsylvania [compared to] four or even eight years ago,” Presler told Morning Wire.
“Two things that really stick out to me are, a.) Since 2020, we have actually cut in half the amount of registered Democrats in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, where they had an advantage of 650,000 four years ago,” he explained. “Now that advantage has been narrowed to 333,000.”
“But the other thing that leads me to believe that President Trump has a real shot at winning Pennsylvania is that Democrats are down 416,000 mail-in ballot requests from where they were four years ago at the same time,” Presler revealed.
“Those two data points show me Pennsylvania is in play,” he said.

“Some people are switching from Democrat to Republican — and I want to give a shout out to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for their destructive Democrat policies that are pushing so many Democrats over to our party,” the activist explained, adding that he’s also seeing “a lot of youth” register for the first time.
Presler identified the top three issues in this election as the economy, immigration, and foreign policy.
“There are three issues that are on people’s minds,” he said. “The first one that I hear every single day is the economy.”
“I’m talking to this woman,” Presler recalled. “She was born in 1965, she’s never voted. She goes, ‘I’m registering and I’m voting because I can’t afford anything.’ This is, deeply, an economic election. People are struggling, moms are struggling to feed their kids, to afford mortgages.”
“Number two, the issue at the forefront — I don’t care what state you’re in; I don’t care if you’re in Connecticut, Rhode Island — every state under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris is a border state,” he said. “This is an immigration election.”
“And third, and probably one of the reasons why so many young people are coming over to the Republican Party, is this is a peace, not war election,” he said. “I want to be overt in this messaging: [Russian President Vladimir] Putin did not invade Ukraine under President Trump. We had peace through strength. Israel was not genocided by Iran, a.k.a Hamas, October 7th, under President Trump. We are seeing new wars that wouldn’t have happened under President Trump, and didn’t happen.”
“A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote to send young men and women under 35 to fight endless wars,” Presler closed. “A vote for President Trump is a vote for peace, and to make sure that young people are able to thrive and prosper in the United States of America and abroad.”
