Not a good sign. Not at all.

One of Trump's top targets has outraised the opponent he backs to oust her. She's not the only one

Four Republican lawmakers who voted to impeach or convict former President Donald Trump over his role in the January 6 attack on the US Capitol outraised the candidates he has endorsed to oust them, new campaign filings show.
Republican Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, Jaime Herrera Beutler of Washington and Fred Upton of Michigan drew Trump's condemnation for their impeachment votes in his January trial in the House. All three collected more money in the third fundraising quarter than their Trump-endorsed rivals, according to reports filed Friday with the Federal Election Commission.
And Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, one of seven Senate Republicans who voted to convict Trump in February, raised nearly $1.1 million in the July-to-September quarter, more than twice the $465,945 collected by Kelly Tshibaka, who Trump endorsed earlier this year. Murkowski is the only one among the seven Republicans who voted to convict the former President who is up for reelection in 2022.........................

Typically, the one with the most $$ wins the seat.

They're incumbents. That's half the battle. The challengers have to work 3x harder to get their names and messages to the voters.

So Democrats are now donating to Murkowski, Cheney, et al?
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

  • Dems-greatest existential threat to USA republic!
Perfect example is Beto.  A ton of money was raised for his race against Cruz and he lost.  It is not the dollars that have one win an election.

But Republicans are dumb.  They tolerate these RINOs when they should be running them out of the party and restricting them from running as Republicans.  Their inability to end dirtbags like Cheney weaken the party.
