Oh 100%, keeps it going and puts pressure on the representatives who are up for reelection. The base is already mad about this, and even those who may not abandon Trump on this may very well be willing to blame Republicans in congress
Plus dems for once are actually playing smart politics here. Over the past two weeks, they’ve been forcing votes on various versions of it. They’ve had 4 so far I believe. Some in various committees, some as amendments, etc. The Massie/Ro Khanna version of the bill would make it even harder to shoot down than those other votes because it would be fully stand alone and fairly well written to cover all the various other excuses raised earlier
Every action generates headlines. In this case even getting voted down is a win because it’s another round of stories.
