What happens if Cheney wins?  She won by 145 votes on a secret ballot in February.  What has changed?  The vote is still secret.  She said Election fraud was a lie then and Trump was at fault for the treason riot,

What happens when McCarthy cannot whip the votes to get Cheney out of leadership?

What has changed is that Cheney has continued to run her mouth in defiance of the party leadership. If she wins the vote, then she will remain in her current position. That seems unlikely since she, the #3 person on the GOP leadership team, has lost the support of the #1 and #2 people on the team. When you join a team, your own goals have to be mostly aligned with the team's goals and if they are not, then you can expect to be waived or traded for somebody who is a better fit for the team.
