majority whip
Party discipline enforcer
The majority whip is a legislative official responsible for counting votes and ensuring party members support leadership positions.
In the U.S.
Congress, the majority whip ranks third in party hierarchy, behind the speaker or majority leader.
The title comes from the "whipper-in" who keeps hunting hounds together during a fox hunt.
The majority whip worked to secure enough votes for the spending bill.
