"Does no one here understand how this works? As soon as Thune and Tillis caved, they knew they had the votes. Daddy gave Collins and Murkowski a pass to vote no because they are in tight re-election races. Everyone else was a guaranteed yes vote, but they were allowed to pretend they're sitting on the fence and express their misgivings if they wanted to."
Murkowski isn't up for re-election. The other Alaska Senator is (Dan Sullivan).
Also, Bill Kennedy is in the same boat as Tillis and Cornyn. He lost his primary so he is done as a Senator as soon as his term ends. He expressed misgivings but still went along because he is a weak-willed man. A coward. Like Tillis and Cornyn, he knows what he is voting for is wrong, but he doesn't have the moral strength to stand up for what is right.
