> It had Republican support so it would've gotten the 60 votes in Senate without needing to get reconciliation

That is a bit of a jump. It wasn’t too long ago we had the Republicans vote against their own bill.

There was no way for the Republicans to stop a bill from coming to vote. And there were multiple republican co-sponsors or even bills introduced by them to repeal the provisions. It didn't even get to a vote because the dems killed the efforts. They like higher corporate taxes so it tracks, they didn't care about the damage caused. Once the Repulicans were able to repeal it on their own, they immediately did it ASAP.
