SUMMARY: On Wednesday, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will campaign in swing states, crossing paths in Wisconsin, where Trump is joined by retired NFL quarterback Brett Favre. Favre, a Trump supporter, has been linked to a Mississippi welfare scandal but has not faced criminal charges. He has repaid over $1 million received from speaking fees related to welfare funds, and still owes nearly $730,000 in interest. Favre’s involvement aims to tap into his local popularity, despite the controversy surrounding him. Meanwhile, Harris will travel through key cities, emphasizing Wisconsin’s critical role in elections.
