Former President Donald Trump was joined by two Green Bay Packers stars at a rally in Wisconsin on Wednesday night as the campaign trail continues to heat up in the battleground state just days away from the election. 

Hall of Fame quarterback and Packers legend Brett Favre spoke at Wednesday night’s rally, where he likened Trump to his former team.

“Much like the Packers organization, Donald Trump and his organization is a winner,” Favre said. “The United States of America won with his leadership.”
