What is the difference between institutional maintenance and party maintenance?

What will be an ideal response?


These are both considerations that party leaders must balance. Institutional maintenance refers to ensuring that Congress as an institution is functioning—members are performing their duties, and Congress’s reputation and integrity is preserved. Party maintenance is more specific to the member’s party and involves crafting winning coalitions among copartisan, providing assistance to members, and ensuring a positive reputation for one’s party.
