Former President Donald Trump’s top Republican critics are reporting massive fundraising hauls, blowing away their respective primary challengers.
Some of the 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Trump in January raised well over one million dollars in 2021’s second quarter, and are heading into the second half of the year with huge cash advantages, Federal Election Commission reports show.
Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, who was ousted from Republican leadership for criticizing Trump’s claims that the election was rigged, hauled in a record-setting $1.88 million from Apr. 1 through June, and has almost $3 million on-hand.
Her two biggest GOP challengers, state Sen. Anthony Bouchard and state Rep. Chuck Gray, reported raising approximately $213,000 and $220,000, respectively.
Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, another vocal Trump critic, has raised more than $1,900,000 through 2021, and has over $3 million on-hand, far more than any of his primary challengers.
Other Republicans who voted to impeach Trump have also seen fundraising success throughout the year. Michigan Rep. Fred Upton has raised over $600,000, while his rival, Steve Carra, has raised about $108,000 since declaring.
California Rep. David Valadao raised over $340,000 in the second quarter, FEC filings show, while his opponent, Chris Mathys, raised nothing.
Ohio Rep. Anthony Gonzalez’s campaign raised about $591,000. The campaign for Max Miller, his main primary challenger with whom Trump rallied with in June, reported raising $375,000.
South Carolina Rep. Tom Rice was the only Republican who voted for impeachment to be outraised by his respective challenger, bringing in about $326,000 to media personality Graham Allen’s over $409,000.
Trump critics’ fundraising success has not been limited to just those in the House. Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski raised almost $1.15 million in the second quarter, while Trump-endorsed Kelly Tshibaka raised $544,000.
Meanwhile Trump-endorsed Alabama Rep. Mo Brooks, who is vying to succeed the retiring Republican Sen. Richard Shelby, was outraised by Katie Britt, Shelby’s former chief-of-staff, by $1.4 million.

First, don’t send money to any RNC, send it directly to Trump, he’ll divvy it out where needed.
Second, Dave Brat took out the incoming speaker of the house Eric Cantor with $460,000 to millions of RNC money.
Third, Trump backed candidates are just shy of 100% wins. He’s only lost two weak (candidates) elections out of 40 he backed.
Need to look at the specifics of the money… especially where it is coming from. Citizens need to understand the power of the uniparty is at stake (RepublicRATs are merely watered down slow motion demoKKKRATs).
democrats are contributing to rino campaigns to promote a candidate that will be smashed in an election, splitting the republican vote, leaving the democrat the win.
Smacks of Gates, Soros, and other nefarious slugs draining our economy.
Pumping money into the Globalist Traitors’ pockets.
Track the money.
