Why did republicans abstain from voting instead of just voting no? It does the same thing doesn’t it?

Saying no draws ire from Trump and his supporters, it's why many who said no later cave and say yes. By not voting at all, you say neither.

But then again it's not like people are stupid, not voting is similar to voting no.

It looks less like a flat out no on their voting record ig, especially if they do want to vote no but would get eviscerated during re-election

The House can choose to vote on it again afterwards or they can send it back to the Senate for revision, but if the Senate revises anything, both the House and Senate have to vote *again* on the amended bill

The bill has a self-imposed deadline on Friday, not an official one but Trump hopes to pass it by then. If it doesn't pass before hitting the deadline in August, the bill dies and they have to introduce a new one.
