Scott Presler’s get-out-the-vote effort found him offering a positive sign that the Keystone State would once again be a battleground victory for former President Donald Trump.

In 2016, the businessman turned GOP leader had toppled the blue wall in the Rust Belt and secured the 46 electoral votes across Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania only to see that outcome flipped back in 2020. On Saturday’s installment of The Daily Wire’s “Morning Wire” podcast, the Early Vote Action PAC founder explained how registration efforts in commonwealth and mail-in ballot requests pointed toward Trump reclaiming Pennsylvania.

“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 said on the podcast.

“Two things that really stick out to me are…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.”

With the last day to vote in Pennsylvania approaching on Oct. 21, Presler’s PAC encouraged contributions to the effort.

Meanwhile, he told “Morning Wire” hosts Georgia Howe and John Bickley ahead of the Oct. 29 deadline to request a mail-in ballot, “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 where they were four years ago at the same time,” the activist said, contrasting current figures with that of the state of the election under then-Gov. Tom Wolf’s COVID tyranny. “Those two data points show me Pennsylvania is in play.”

“Some people are switching from Democrat to Republican — and I want to give a shout out to [President] Joe Biden and [Vice President] Kamala Harris for their destructive Democrat policies that are pushing so many Democrats over to our party,” he went on.

While the Democratic Party nominee focused heavily on the issue of abortion and opted against distancing herself from the failed policies of the administration the left had insisted on referring to as the Biden-Harris administration, Presler noted that the economy, border and global unrest were the three leading issues among people he interacted with on the ground.

“We are seeing new wars that wouldn’t have happened under President Trump, and didn’t happen,” he expressed. “A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote to send young men and women under 35 to fight endless wars. 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.”

In selling the motivation some voters had to return to Trump’s leadership, Presler shared an anecdote about a woman born in 1965 who had never voted before, but insisted this election would be different “because I can’t afford anything.”

“This,” said the activist, “is, deeply, an economic election. People are struggling, moms are struggling to feed their kids, to afford mortgages.”
