That's by design Gray campaigned as Trump lite- he even slipped it into the debate and said "i'm like Trump" let someone else in there to shake things up. Trump never really advocated for down ballot races, and especially in Kentucky- he even created Gray's talking point against Rand by attacking Rand in the GOP presidential primaries for running for two offices. This talking point of course resonated with some Trump supporters, and Trump never really disavowed those remarks.
