Pro-impeachment Republicans outpace GOP rivals in second-quarter fundraising

Republicans who voted earlier this year to impeach former President Trump are outpacing their primary challengers in the money race.

Now, the 10 House Republicans who broke party lines in the chamber’s January impeachment vote are heading into the second half of 2021 flush with cash, financial reports filed on Thursday with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) show.

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), who was ousted from her post as the No. 3 House Republican in May, raked in the most cash of the group in the second quarter of the year, raising nearly $1.9 million and closing out June with more than $2.8 million in the bank.

Another pro-impeachment Republican, Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), brought in more than $800,000 for his 2022 reelection bid in the same time frame. He began the second half of the year with more than $3 million in cash on- hand.

Cheney and Kinzinger have emerged as two of the most vocal Trump critics in the House Republican caucus since the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol that preceded the former president’s second impeachment. That criticism has earned each of them a set of primary challengers, many of whom are hoping to capitalize on Trump’s remaining influence within the GOP to win their party’s nomination next year.

But so far, none have managed to out-raise Cheney or Kinzinger.

Didn't read the piece. Did The Shill mention the relative proportion of small donations the pro and con-Trump candidates are receiving? My guess is Cheney's & Kinzinger's donations came in about 6 or 8 gigantic lumps.

Democrats want those Republicans to win even at the expense of Democrat candidates to stick it to Trump voters.

Doesn't matter...won't save them. The Left is dumping money in these Quisling's coffers...good. That's money that might be spent in close House/Senate races that could go either way...people like Cheney are walking the mile and there ain't no turning back.

Democrats have been fighting the war on the rich, so they tell us, for many many decades.  Odd how the rich is always filling the democrat coffers with money, and even more strange the voters are often refused representation that the rich, foreigners, and minorities receive generously.  Yet so many unrepresented white guilt fools vote for democrats anyway, to much inbreeding?

Not difficult when both the GOPe AND Democrats are funding them.  How much did each one get from Soros and Zuckerberg?

I've said this before and I'll post it again:

Unless Wyoming Republicans can find someone better to run against Cheney than that challenger who had the 14-year-old concubine, she's going to win again.

Easily.

@Fishrrman it's not just Wyoming.  The problem for a very long time has been that there are no true conservative challengers, or the GOPe rally against them to ensure that they keep their country club members seated.

Sounds like both parties bi-partisan-ed to save Cheney, eh?  The deep State globalist are in both parties.
