She stands for nothing. If she had no problem with Barrett, why not vote for her.

It means that McConnell gave her permission to vote NO in an attempt to save her seat.

As I wrote about Collins yesterday in a message thread about Murkowski declaring that she'd vote for Barrett:
she's in a LOT of trouble right now, and the repukes have enough votes without her, so there's a chance that she'll get permission from Moscow Mitch to either abstain or vote NO in a frantic attempt to save her seat. People in Maine remember her Kavanaugh slap-in-the-face to them and her polling has been under 50% and falling.
