Contributing sentiments towards policy:

25% : With Johnson failing to garner the necessary votes on his first try, Trump has failed to demonstrate himself as the irrefutable leader of the GOP, showing that Republican lawmakers in the House -- and in the Senate -- could thwart him from time to time.
20% : Beyond the possibility that the ceremonial confirmation of his election win could be delayed, the failed vote also reflects poorly on Trump, as the president-elect used his political capital to campaign for Johnson, calling Republican lawmakers ahead of the ballot in an effort to get Johnson the votes he needed.
