Besides the J6 baggage, both Mastriano and Majewski were endorsed by Trump, were hardline pro-lifers and often talked about 2020 election being stolen.
Candidates that were hardcore pro-life struggled in the rust belt of WI, PA and MI so Mastriano was certainly hurt a bit by aspect stance on abortion running in PA.
Hardcore pro-lifers generally did well in Ohio so Majewski was probably not hurt by his stance on abortion.
Consider the fact that every GOP secretary of state candidate in a swing state who said the 2020 election was stole lost their race. The AZ, NV, MI and WI GOP SOS candidates all lost. Suburban voters don't like "Stop the Steal" rhetoric.
Constantly saying 2020 was stolen as a candidate and being connected to J6 is clearly not beneficial seeing as GOP candidates who did either or both of these two things in swing states clearly lost.
Was that really the clincher, though? There wasn't another explanation available?

You're getting downvoted but you're on point with how J6 and the election is viewed outside of our small circles.
J6 and Stop the Steal is completely toxic in even right leaning suburbs in states like Texas, Georgia, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Arizona.
The people on our forum are in an echochamber if they think both doesn't matter at all.
