Censured Rashida Tlaib transforms into fundraising force amid Israel-Hamas war

Published



Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) raked in $1.9 million in her first fundraising quarter of 2024, raising a total of $6.45 million this cycle following her criticism of Israel’s handling of the war against Hamas and her censure by the House last year.

Tlaib, the only Palestinian American serving in Congress, is the 12th highest fundraiser in the House, coming in right behind notoriously strong fundraiser and fellow Squad member, Rep.

Until the Israel-Hamas war, Tlaib was not known for her fundraising prowess, unlike those in House leadership positions.
