She did extract concessions and voted for the first procedural vote allowing the bill to be put on the floor. Unfortunately for her, after she did that, the parliamentarian ruled those tweaks invalid and removed it from the bill.

We will see if Murkowski votes for the final passage now that she does not have anything to offset that.
