Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), who was ousted from her leadership role in the House Republican caucus, topped her replacement, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), by about $400,000 in fundraising last quarter.
Cheney raised $1.88 million in the second quarter of 2021, running from April to June, after raising more than $1.5 million in the first three months of the year. The fundraising haul set a record for the campaign.
Cheney spokesperson Jeremy Adler confirmed the fundraising numbers to The Hill. They were first reported by Fox News.
Stefanik’s second-quarter fundraising haul came in at $1.467 million.
The fundraising numbers for the two prominent Republicans serve as a look into how Republicans are reacting to Cheney's ouster from leadership, as well as to the lawmakers' differing takes on former President Trump and the 2020 election.
Stefanik has emerged as an ally of the former president, while Cheney is one of his most outspoken critics on the GOP.
