I think they're pleased because they think that the suffering it will cause will make people angry at the Republicans. I'm not sure Republucan supporters are that smart. They will blame it on Biden. Doesn't the Senate have a say? Does the President need to sign bills? Can Biden refuse?

If Biden does not sign a bill, it's called a pocket veto. I think it occurs if the bill is not signed within 10 days.

I don't know about the supporters not pegging the Republicans. On another thread, someone mentioned that, the supporters understand that the GOP instigated the 30-shutdown from a few years back and they were not happy with the effect it had on them. I think the GOP took a hit on this. But then look whose is now in office, so mayhaps.
