Democrat vs Republican doesn't matter.

Democrat vs not voting is what does.

The people voting Republican won't care, or they would have forgotten by then.

Except that didn't actually happen. The bill hasn't been voted on at all.

What happened is the Senate voted to use a budget resolution to pass relief rather than actually vote on the bill, which also kills the $15/hr federal wage increase part of the bill because you can't do that through resolution.

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/02/coronavirus-stimulus-democrats-try-to-pass-1point9-trillion-relief-bill.html
The budget resolution filed by Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., includes instructions for relevant committees to draft relief policies. The measures include the direct payments, unemployment aid, Covid-19 vaccine distribution and testing funds, rental and mortgage assistance, small business support, and school funding, among others.

The instructions did not include a federal $15 per hour minimum wage. Democrats support the policy, but rules governing the use of reconciliation could prevent them from passing it as part of the bill.

The budget rules are just one of the hurdles Democrats face in trying to pass legislation without Republicans. They still may have to convince some skeptical Democrats, Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia in particular, to support the package.
