Representative Kevin McCarthy of California just told reporters that he doesn’t want another vote tonight. “I don’t think voting tonight is productive,”..[and] that he didn't think voting tonight would make a difference, "but I think voting in the future will.”

He is certainly correct as to another vote or votes tonight, see e.g. colloquial definition of insanity. Whether "voting in the future" will make a difference is contingent on the change of behavior adverted to in said colloquial definition.
