The complete sentence is:
Electric pressure or voltage is the push of electrons down a conductor.

In fact, the voltage is a difference of electrical potential across two points of a conductor. Due to this difference of potential, the electrons in the conductor flow from the point at lower potential to the point at higher potential, producing an electrical current in the conductor.
