Hall Of Fame NFL QB Brett Favre Sends Out Firm Political Message Ahead Of 2024 U.S. Presidential Election
Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre has made another firm political statement with the 2024 United States presidential election inching closer.
The 54-year-old Brett Favre has been vocal about supporting former president and 2024 Republican nominee, Donald Trump. The Pro Football Hall of Famer wrote on Twitter (now X) in Oct. 2020 that he was voting for Trump over Democratic nominee Joe Biden, who went on to win the election.

Favre is one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history, earning 11 Pro Bowl nods and three MVP awards to go along with his Super Bowl 31 championship ring (won with the Green Bay Packers).
The three-time First-team All-Pro retired as the all-time passing yards and passing touchdowns leader, though Peyton Manning, Drew Brees and Tom Brady (the all-time leader) have since moved ahead of the Packers icon.
The 1991 second-round pick turned the Packers into an NFC juggernaut over his 16 years with the franchise, leading them to 11 playoff appearances and two Super Bowl berths.
