Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre is set to speak next week at a rally for former President Donald Trump in Wisconsin.
The Trump campaign announced Friday that Favre, a Super Bowl winner and three-time NFL MVP, would be a special guest at a rally at the Resch Center in Green Bay on Wednesday. Favre, who played 20 seasons in the NFL, previously backed Trump’s 2020 campaign.
“My Vote is for what makes this country great, freedom of speech and religion, the second amendment, hard-working tax-paying citizens, police and military. In this election, we have freedom of choice, which all should respect. For me and these principles, my vote is for [Trump],” Favre said in 2020.
Favre has advocated to keep transgender-identifying males from participating in female sports and prioritizing American citizens.
“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,” Favre posted on X last month.

Last year, Favre said that the country was in “better shape” when Trump was president.
“I think Donald was a non-political president, and I liked that about him. Was he perfect? Absolutely not. Am I perfect? Absolutely not. I’m flawed just like the rest of them,” he said on the “Fearless” podcast. “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,” he said.
Last month, Favre revealed in front of Congress that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
“I felt my arm, the strength was there, but I could not guide it,” Favre said of his condition. “And it was the most frustrating thing, so those two really kind of, eventually, I was like, you know I’m just gonna get it checked.”
Favre spent one season with the Atlanta Falcons, 16 seasons with the Packers, one season with the New York Jets, and two with the Minnesota Vikings. He was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 2016.
