Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre, who spent a year playing in New Jersey as a member of the New York Jets, returned to Garden State on Saturday playing golf with President Donald Trump.
White House spokesman Judd Deere said Favre, who acted as a member of the Green Bay Packers, hit ties to the president at his Bedminster golf club.
Jets owner Woody Johnson, currently the United States’ ambassador to the United Kingdom, is a major contributor to the President’s campaign.
Trump will spend the weekend in Bedminster for the second time this year. He has often been to the golf club during the warmer months.
The president was scheduled to attend a fundraising event at the golf club later Saturday, according to the White House.
Trump’s trip was his third to New Jersey in 2020. In mid-June, when he spearheaded a fundraiser for his reelection campaign and dined with Governor Phil Murphy.
The other was a political rally in Wildwood in January in support of party change representative Jeff Van Drew, R-2nd Dist.
He canceled two other planned visits to Bedminster.
Arriving this weekend, Trump has spent 94 days in Bedminster during his presidency, only behind the 133 days he spent at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, according to NBC News.
