Brett Favre will nearly return to the stomping grounds that made him famous for a Wisconsin rally for Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump.
With no concrete date set, Trump’s campaign said Favre would join him before the November 5 election date. Favre, who has endorsed Trump in the past, will appear at the Resch Center, which is the home court of the Horizon League’s Green Bay Phoenix men’s NCAA Division 1 basketball team. The venue seats 9,877 spectators and is connected to a 125,000-square-foot expo that costs $93 million.
The Hall of Fame quarterback will deliver words to conservatives familiar with his face as the field general for the Green Bay Packers for 16 years. Even when Trump was battling Joe Biden in 2020, Favre was outspoken about his support for the Republican nominee, once calling him “flawed,” but showing devotion to caring about the country.

Favre’s Trump support comes after the Republican nominee said “I hate Taylor Swift” after the decorated pop star voiced her support for Kamala Harris in the upcoming collection. While Harris has gotten support from musicians like Swift and Beyonce, Trump has used his connection in sports to garner support from Favre, UFC President Dana White, and more.
In September, Favre appeared on the Fearless podcast with Jason Whitlock for a conversation in which Trump was mentioned. Originally, the episode was intended for Favre to reveal his Parkinson’s disease, but it quickly caught steam for his Trump support.
“I think our country was in better shape with him,” he began, praising Trump’s stance as a president who operated outside traditional political lines. While admitting that Trump wasn’t perfect, he acknowledged: “Was he perfect? Absolutely not. Am I perfect? Absolutely not. I’m flawed just like the rest of ’em. We’re all flawed.
“But I really felt like he had our country in a better place and really cared about our people in our country. Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, you name it. I think if you were an American citizen, he cared about you, first and foremost. I don’t know if our current president has the same mentality.”

In September, Favre posted on social media, stating: “If you’re born in the USA or an American citizen and you put other countries above us, then that’s unpatriotic. That’s it” – accompanied by several American flag emojis. His recent social media activity reflects his patriotic stance, as he continuously shares Trump content that highlights public support for him and his causes.
Among his recent retweets was a video of a crowd gathered in anticipation of Trump’s arrival in Aurora. Favre also shared statistics indicating that the Republican nominee had helped raise over $4.4 million for Hurricane Helene victims, funded by contributions from nearly 29,700 donors.
Despite political alignment, Favre had a 20-year NFL career marked by multiple records and accolades. He holds the record for the longest touchdown pass at 99 yards (tied) and set an NFL benchmark for most consecutive starts at 297 games (321 including playoffs). Favre led the league in passing yards twice (1995, 1998) and was the NFL completion percentage leader in 1998.
