Pro Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre will join former President Trump in Wisconsin for days of rallying ahead of Election Day next week in Wisconsin.
The Trump campaign announced Favre as a guest speaker when Trump visited Green Bay on Wednesday. The event will take place at the Resch Center.
Favre, a Green Bay Packers legend, has been a staunch supporter of the Republican presidential candidate, endorsing Trump during his 2020 run against Joe Biden.

He said that America was in a better place last year when Trump was president.
“I think our country was better off with him,” he told Jason Whitlock on the “Afraid” podcast. “I think Donald was an apolitical president, and I loved that about him. Was he perfect? Not perfect. Am I perfect? Not perfect. I’m flawed like everybody else. We all have flaws. But I really felt like he had our country in a better place and he really cared about our people and our country.

“Black, White, Hispanic, Asian – you name it. I think if he was an American citizen, he would care, first of all. I don’t know if our current president has the same mindset.”
In 2020, Favre supported Trump because of his stance on free speech, gun rights and support for the military and police after a summer of racial unrest following the death of George Floyd.

“My vote is to make this country great, freedom of speech and religion, the second amendment, citizens who pay taxes, the police and the military. In this election we have a freedom of choice that everyone should respect. For me, these principles, my vote is [Donald Trump],” Favre wrote on X at the time.
