Democrats don't want to give them the satisfaction, so with the encouragement of House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, many of them will vote "no" as well, in order to delegitimize the vote and avoid "subject[ing] themselves to a political 30-second ad attack," as Hoyer says.
Comical in a dark humor kind of way.
