Debunked Bucks: Top House Democrat's claim of outraising GOP rival proven false
Fox News
The claim that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., raised more money than House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., during the second quarter of 2023 is false.
"Jeffries’ tally is $7.3 million more than what Speaker Kevin McCarthy raised in Q2. Jeffries, of course, is following in the footsteps of former Speaker Nancy Pelosi — a legendary fundraiser. It’s clear that in his first half-year as Democratic leader, Jeffries can keep up in the money game department," the outlet reported initially. Kyle Morris covers politics for Fox News.

Sharing the news, Justin Chermol, a press adviser for Jeffries, wrote in a tweet: "For the second straight quarter, Leader @hakeemjeffries single-handedly out-raised the NRCC, marking another MASSIVE fundraising haul for House Democrats."
