The "Arrested Development" star joined the ABC series at the start of season four as the cutthroat chairwoman of the RNC who was aligned with former VP Andrew Nichols (Jon Tenney).
Though she was the type of character viewers loved to hate, Elizabeth become an asset to the show, especially after Huck (Guillermo Diaz) basically tortured her into submission.
She will prove to be an even bigger asset in the fifth season after Cyrus (Jeff Perry) was fired as Fitz's (Tony Goldwyn) chief of staff, paving the way for Elizabeth to join the White House, reported Entertainment Weekly.
