While many thought-and hoped- when Rep. Liz Cheney was voted out of her position as House GOP Conference Chair the move would be the final nail in her coffin and she surely wouldn’t be able to survive her next re-election campaign. However, it seems just the opposite has happened as she’s set a second straight quarterly fundraising effort.

Fox News reports:

Cheney’s 2022 reelection campaign hauled in $1.88 million in the April-June second quarter of fundraising, an increase from the record-setting $1.5 million Cheney brought in during the first three months of the year. Cheney for Wyoming shared the fundraising figures first with Fox News on Tuesday morning.

The nearly $3.5 million Wyoming’s three-term at large member of the House has raised so far this year surpasses the $3 million Cheney brought in during the entire 2020 cycle for her successful reelection.

The campaign also highlighted that the congresswoman, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, has $2.85 million cash on hand as of the end of June, double the $1.43 million she had in her campaign coffers three months ago. Her money in the bank gives Cheney a significant fundraising advantage over any of the primary challengers seeking to oust her in 2022.

Cheney, a longtime vocal GOP critic of Donald Trump, was the most senior House Republican to vote to impeach the then-president on a charge of inciting the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by right-wing extremists and other Trump supporters, who aimed to disrupt congressional certification of Trump’s presidential election defeat to now-President Biden.

While Cheney is raking in some serious campaign cash it’s unclear if it will translate to actual votes come re-election time. Former President Trump is still a fierce critic of Cheney and holds a powerful grip over the Republican Party.
