That would be one for the books - lose re-election to one senate seat and then win election to the other senate seat two years later. Don’t see that happening, though.

No, that’s not one for the books. Slade Gorton did that in WA state back in 1988 after he lost reelection in 1986.

Slade Gordon of WA lost re-election for Senate in 1986. In 1988, Slade won the other Senate seat even while Bush I lost WA. These weird things do happen.

It’s happened before. Democratic Senator Joseph O’Mahoney was narrowly defeated for reelection in 1952, than won a vacant seat in 1954.
