David Pakman legitimately worried about Trump's PA crowd size [View all]

Normally I would brush it off, but Pakman is a good liberal who's show I enjoy, and he still thinks Harris will win. He's just a little worried about PA and wants to step up efforts to GOTV.

So, what do you think? Legitimate concern that Trump could win PA, or this nonsense?
