It matters more than you might think even if Republicans generally don't care about the average person. For instance, in 2023 due to push-back there ended up being enough republican support (~100) to get the 2/3 needed to expel George Santos despite republicans having a super slim majority in the house

Or they already dropped Matt Gatez as their AG pick because of the push back from Republicans in the senate

It matters especially on the house side this time as well where they started with a three seat majorities and will be at 1 seat majority until special elections in April. Only a handful of republican defections is enough to kill a bill
