Why it matters: The impressive haul, an increase from the record-setting $1.5 million Cheney brought in during the first three months of the year, came during the period in which she was ousted as House GOP conference chair for her criticism of former President Trump. Cheney raised more than Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), who replaced her as the No. 3 House Republican in May and raised $1.5 million in Q3, according to Politico. Cheney's fundraising totals this cycle have already passed the $3 million she brought in during the entire 2020 cycle. She told Fox on Tuesday that she has $2.85 million cash on hand as of the end of June, double the $1.43 million she had three months ago.
