These are mostly red areas and even in blue or purple distrcts in a Republican Primary those voting will usually be much more right wing than overall population.

He is winning these places becsuse those voting are mostly Republican.

During the general election is when most people turned off by him will vote. This will include all of the low info casual voters that voted for him and are upset with him now.
