Incumbents get supported by their political parties. There is NOTHING at all "weird" about that. It's the way politics works and it's past time that you learned that. But nobody says that you have to like it.

People vote for all kinds of candidates that others don't understand, so don't expect an explanation; especially from me. LOL

What YOU and others here have to understand, is that in some places ( R.I. being one of them ) the chances of getting the populace to elect even a mildly conservative GOPer is none to nil.
