Partisans believe anytime one of their candidates lose it must be because of candidate quality not because the voters rejected their party's ideology.
When they got into the race both Oz and Lake were considered strong recruits by many. Oz was the dream of the everyday housewife, a good looking celebrity doctor who hung out with Oprah. Lake was a well known TV anchor who was the darling of Trumpists. More than one right wing talking head mentioned her as a possible 2024 VP pick. They both turned out to be sh**tty candidates but they were not considered to be weak until after the election.
BTW even if Oz had run a better campaign I don't think he beats Fetterman. If Lake had been less crazy she probably wins though.
