If Manchin votes Yes, but in that case he would be the deciding vote.
So, if Manchin votes No, it is 49 to 50, so the MT Senator would have to fly to DC to vote Y.
If Murkowski votes Present & Manchin No; it is 49 Y, 49 N &1 Present & the VP breaks the tie.
If Manchin is Yes it is 50 Y, 48 N & 1 Present. Murkowski agreeing to vote Present is an insurance policy for confirmation and the MT Senator does not have to fly to DC.
All that is assuming Flake is still a Yes.
WHAT A MESS.

Manchin isn’t voting NO. He’s already publicly announced he’s voting YES. If he reneges on that he’ll get smoked in his election. So this whole voting present scenario is a pointless consideration since the votes are already there no matter what Murkowski does.
