(CNN) Rep. Liz Cheney announced Tuesday that her campaign raised nearly $1.9 million in second quarter 2021, setting what her office described as a quarterly fundraising record for the Wyoming Republican, amid her removal from House leadership and ahead of a potentially bruising reelection campaign. Cheney's big fundraising haul follows her ouster from House GOP leadership in May for her ongoing criticism of former President Donald Trump and false claims about the 2020 election. Cheney's office said the fundraising set a quarterly record for the Wyoming representative, beating the $1.5 million she raised in the first quarter of 2021. Cheney also announced having $2.85 million in cash on hand for her reelection campaign in 2022. The fundraising haul "gives the campaign a significant advantage over any other candidate currently running in Wyoming," Cheney's office announced.
