She voted to keep him because he was her ticket to power. I doubt the next Speaker is going to let her act like the Queen Bee.

Though it may be more accurate your way.

She is the single best small donor fundraiser in the caucus and is sought out by most fellow members for endorsements and campaigning help. Until that dynamic changes, she will have power and influence and her trajectory sadly continues up.
