But the pork is already out in the public. 80% of congress voted yay on this for the first pass. Are you saying that number would be down to below 66% for the second pass? How?
First pass everyone could say “oh noes, we had to act fast!” Second pass, they don’t get that out. They know all the park in this bill, and they like it. A veto would have forced them to own it.
There’s no vote on any of this redlines bs. Every GOPe and dim will say they voted on a bill they could not have possibly read because the world was ending and they are very upset now that they know it was full of bullshit. “I’d never vote for that again. Good thing I won’t have to since the president signed it. Vote for me in two years.”
I only got through the first sentence of your reply because I think you missed the point. There is no hard win here, only optics. A veto says fuck you. Redlines say fuck you. Congress can ignore both.

In the current state he's redlined all of the pork. If they don't fix it, they own it. Same situation, different words.
