For a piece of legislation to proceed to the Senate, it needs a certain number of votes. Whose job is it to organize votes by members within each party?

The whip is responsible for tracking party members’ positions and organizing their votes on legislation. Committees review and shape bills, while a caucus is a meeting of party members. The floor leader guides the party’s work on the chamber floor, but organizing votes within the party is the whip’s job.
