Hall of Famer Brett Favre is one of the most legendary quarterbacks in NFL history.
He’s taken on one of his biggest challenges yet.
And Brett Favre entered the fight for 2024 with one move that no one saw coming.
Brett Favre pitches Pennsylvania voters on Donald Trump
Pennsylvania is the most important swing state in the Presidential election with its 19 crucial Electoral Votes.
A win in the state by former President Donald Trump could send him back to the White House.
Pennsylvania is attracting the most spending by the Presidential candidates and their allies this election.
One Florida trial lawyer is using his own money and some star power for TV ads aimed at voters in the state.
Central Florida trial lawyer Dan Newlin spent $3 million of his own money to run a TV ad with former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre in Pennsylvania.
The ad will run during football games and other sporting events on the weekend along with the news.
Favre makes a simple pitch to Pennsylvania voters.
“I’m Brett Favre, and I’m endorsing Donald Trump in this election,” Favre says in the ad. “Just look at the situation today. The bloodshed in the Middle East is relentless. Conflicts around the globe are escalating and President Putin is threatening nuclear action.”
“Pennsylvania, we can’t take a chance,” Favre continues. “We need a strong leader, and I believe Donald Trump is the right choice to protect our families and restore world peace. So join me and vote Trump.”

Newlin expects to spend $10 million on TV advertising in the state.
He’s outspending groups like the National Rifle Association (NRA), National Association of Manufacturers, and nearly matching Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s Presidential campaign.
Trial lawyer spends big to help Donald Trump
Newlin is running another ad in Pennsylvania that features Pima County, Arizona, Sheriff Mark Lamb blasting Vice President Kamala Harris for her failing to secure the border.
Another ad from Newlin rips Kamala for supporting defunding the police.
He takes a different approach compared to most major political spenders in that he runs his own ads.
Newlin appears in the border security ad with Sheriff Lamb.
“We need your support, Pennsylvania,” Newlin says in the ad. “Vote Trump 2024 for a safer America.”
All of his commercials feature the 1-800 number for his Central Florida-based law firm.
He’s also poured more than $1.4 million into digital billboards in Florida, Nevada, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
Newlin decided to run his own ads versus donating to an existing PAC because of his experience advertising his Central Florida law firm.
He uses billboards and zany TV spots to advertise his law firm in Florida.
“I’ve mastered media,” Newlin said.
Traditional political ads rely on consultants, testing, and focus groups before they hit the air.
He and two other people put his ads together.
“They want to beta-test everything,” Newlin said of consultants. “I’m going to do it my way.”
Newlin donated $1 million to the family of Corey Comperatore, the fire chief killed at the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, and $100,000 to the people injured there.
Trump noted Newlin and his donation at the Republican National Convention.
And Dan Newlin is using an innovative approach to try to get Donald Trump elected.
