Most notably, Rep. Liz Cheney -- with backing from both establishment Republicans and moderate Democrats -- has broken her own fundraising records, despite being the most high-profile Republican on Trump's 2022 hit list. Also among those rallying behind Cheney are Trump critics within the Republican Party, including former Rep. Francis Rooney, R-Fla., who is among several Republican lawmakers who announced their retirement after clashing with pro-Trump GOP forces.
Bush also gave $2,800 to Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, who has been targeted by Trump for being one of seven Senate Republicans whoin his impeachment trial last year, and the only one of them up for reelection this year. Similar to Cheney, Murkowski outraised her Trump-endorsed challenger, Kelly Tshibaka, by more than double in the final three months of 2021, and entered the 2022 election year with $4.3 million on hand.
South Carolina Republican Russell Fry, who Trump endorsed just this week, managed to raise close to the amount raised by incumbent Rep. Tom Rice, but still faces Rice's big war chest of nearly $2 million.Former Trump aide Max Miller, who's running to fill retiring GOP Rep. Anthony Gonzalez's seat in Ohio, continued to report the strongest fundraising figures among contenders vying for Gonzalez's open seat.
