It is a mixed win.
The funds may very well go through. HOWEVER:
-Trump's veto would have been worthless, they have supermajority and would have rammed it through.
-This puts the spotlight back on them, naked in front of a very angry constituency, about 1/2 the country at least, and buys time to drag them into the spotlight more.
-Buys time, and some breathing room.
-There may be some other laws/provisos which could work in tandem with it that we don't know about.
