John Boehner survives a challenge to his leadership of the House GOP minority.
Boehner easily beat back an eleventh-hour challenge by Rep. Dan Lungren, beating the California conservative. Lungren was basically there to offer a protest vote for conservatives who wanted a different leader after another rough election cycle for Republicans.Congratulations to Rep. Boehner for earning this vote of confidence in the leadership abilities that have served his party so well.
