Whatever she was promised. A bridge to sowhere maybe.

Also, Murk "pairing" her vote assures that there will be a Quorum. 51 Senators.

“When less than a quorum votes, but the addition of names of Senators present and paired and announcing votes made a quorum, the vote is valid.” Riddick’s Senate Procedure, p. 1431."

Otherwise the Dems and Murk could walk out and there wouldn't be a quorum to vote. (Unless my math is off.)
