Byron York's Daily Memo: Another sign of intensity for Trump in Pennsylvania

ANOTHER SIGN OF INTENSITY FOR TRUMP IN PENNSYLVANIA.

 

Today's newsletter is based on a new story I have just published called "Trump House: Pennsylvania woman gives Trump fans sense of belonging, hope of victory." It's about a place in the western part of the state known as a "mecca for the silent majority."

 

Each day, about 1,000 people visit "Trump House" in Latrobe. It's really a house, a former rental property painted like a giant American flag and transformed by its owner, Leslie Rossi, into a center where Trump supporters gather, pick up a free Trump hat, or shirt, or flag, andpose in front of the 14-foot high cutout of President Trump in the front yard.

 

 

More importantly, it's a place where Trump supporters meet others who share their political views. It's a place where people who have never voted can find the necessary papers to register. It's a place where registered Democrats who want to change to the Republican Party can get it done. And now, it has become an important indicator of the intensity of Trump support in perhaps the most important battleground state in the 2020 election.

The creator of Trump House, Leslie Rossi, first opened it in the 2016 campaign. It became hugely popular almost right away. Back then, she got lots of visitors who were skeptical about Donald Trump. She talked with them, persuaded them, encouraged them – and registered many of them to vote. In the end, she contributed to Trump's narrow 44,000-vote margin of victory in Pennsylvania.

 

Now, with the president running for a second term, there's a different vibe at the Trump House. Rossi's work is no longer to persuade doubting voters to give Trump a chance. Instead, she is providing a place for Trump supporters from all over Pennsylvania to meet and see that there are in fact a lot of other Trump supporters out there. "It's so different now," said Rossi. "They like coming here because they feel so connected. They are so proud of their president. They get to come here and celebrate him their movement with like-minded people."
