Every Murkowski campaign opponent from now until eternity: “If you elect me to the US Senate I will never vote present.”
Murkowski was looking for an escape.....Daines was it though he certainly didn’t need or ask her to do that. Alaska won’t care as long as the oil flows.
She actually voted 'No', but then withdrew her vote in a deal with Daines, which means she didn't vote at all. Different than voting present. She made it very plain that her vote was 'No'.
