I have a slightly different take. Trump knew the House was going to vote to release the files (despite his best efforts). Once passed, the resolution has to be taken up and voted on by the Senate. After that, Trump has to sign the bill. A lot can happen along the way. He effectively bought himself time to continue whatever election subversion they're planning for 2026 (gerrymandering, voter purges, restricting mail-in, martial law, etc).
My understanding is that Trump could just sign an order to release the files and bypass Congress altogether. That's not going to happen since he's obviously implicated.
