Politico: “In the end, Cheney easily kept her job, while Greene lost her committee seats when Democrats insisted on holding a vote on her fate.

“How McCarthy has approached this dual set of crises — with a mix of crowd-sourcing and people-pleasing that has become a hallmark of his leadership style — offers a preview of how he plans to navigate what will undoubtedly be tricky internal GOP dynamics over the next two years. So far, he has emerged strengthened among his own members — though at what external political cost, if any, remains to be seen.”
