Another step backwards. What kind of power does this give her? Anything that matters much?

(Bloomberg) -- House Republican leaders must decide how much to embrace President Donald Trump going into the 2020 election -- a dilemma that will fall most heavily to Representative Liz Cheney as she joins the party’s upper echelon.
The Wyoming congresswoman and daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney is poised to become the third-ranking House Republican in closed-door leadership elections to be held Wednesday. Her main task as House GOP conference chairwoman would be to craft a marketing strategy to help Republican lawmakers retake the House and propel Trump to a second term. :confused:
...It would fall to Cheney to speak not only for current members seeking re-election in 2020 when Trump is also on the ticket, but also to craft a message that persuades voters in swing states to send more Republicans to Congress. Cheney easily won re-election this year as Wyoming’s sole House representative, a seat her father held from 1979-1989.
Cheney would take over the leadership job from Washington state’s Cathy McMorris Rodgers, who stepped down from the position. Some House Republicans grew frustrated that her sunny message that Americans are “better off now” wasn’t motivating voters...
...Cheney’s experience in Washington stretches well beyond her single term in Congress. She worked on her father’s campaigns for the seat she now holds and served in the State Department, beginning in 2002 as a deputy assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern Affairs...
