Donald Trump is the most underestimated man in politics – and continues to outperform his polling.
He’s done it by piecing together a first-of-its-kind voting coalition that is difficult to measure.
And now Donald Trump has uncovered this unheralded mystery voting bloc that delivered him the White House.
The blue wall is now the Trump wall
Donald Trump won a second term as President of the United States, largely, by breaking through the supposed “blue wall” of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
Trump scored 312 electoral college votes compared to a mere 226 for Vice President Kamala Harris.
However, here’s the importance of the blue wall . . .
Had Kamala been able to hold the wall, she would be the President-elect today.
She would have ended with exactly 270 electoral college votes, the minimum needed to ascend to the White House.
And the most important of the blue wall states is Pennsylvania and its 19 electoral college votes.
In 2020, Trump controversially fell short in the Keystone State by about 1.25-points, or about 90,000 votes.
But in 2024, Trump bested Kamala by about 2-points, or about 135,000 votes.
So, what changed in four years?
The Keystone State was the key to Trump’s victory
First of all, President Joe Biden’s single term in office was met with disdain, turning him into one of the least popular Presidents in modern American history – even in his home state of Pennsylvania.
NBC News has reported that in March 2021, registered Democrats outnumbered Republicans in Pennsylvania by 630,000.
However, thanks to the efforts of Republican activists like Scott Presler and others, on the eve of the 2024 election day, the GOP had cut that disadvantage in more than half.
According to NBC News, there were only 300,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans in the state.
A reduction of 330,000 in the Democrat lead.
That corresponds nicely to the 225,000 vote flip in the state between the 2020 and 2024 elections.
And many of those new Republican voters came from one group of Pennsylvanians.
Donald Trump is living in an Amish Paradise
It turns out, the Amish Community showed up in force to vote for Trump on election day.
According to the New York Post, the “Pennsylvania Dutch” community registered to vote in “unprecedented numbers” ahead of the election.
Thank you to the Amish for delivering Pennsylvania for Trump & saving our country.
We’ll never, ever forget your contribution to American history.

“Actual numbers of Amish voters were unclear,” the New York Post reported Tuesday night. “Though horse-and-buggy rigs were seen at polling locations in photographs from the region.”
Presler spent a great deal of time during the campaign registering new Amish voters.
His team spent time at Amish markets every week.

Elon Musk tweeted out a video of Amish horse and buggies trotting down the streets of Pennsylvania waving American flags and Trump-Vance signs.
Presler — who is receiving a lot of credit for Trump’s victory by those in the know — shared his gratitude for support from the Amish community.
“Thank you to the Amish for delivering Pennsylvania for Trump and saving our country,” Presler tweeted. “We’ll never, ever forget your contribution to American history.”
