Well yeah, that was their whole problem. He is offensive enough that some people LOVE him and were willing to turn out for him in the primaries. Other candidates split the vote and didn't have as enthusiastic following of people who turned out.

The Republican party went so far as to beg people not to vote for him before the primary. So he won because of the situation. But his following is very small and thus, was out of the race before it even started. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/10/pennsylvania-republicans-stop-mastriano-00031607
