What if he retired from the seat and they had a concurrent special election? IIRC, that's never done anywhere. Anytime there's a vacancy in a Senate seat, the governor always appoints the replacement to fill out the term. It may be in the Constitution that way.

Gubernatorial appointments vary in length in such situations. I seem to recall that when Henry M. Jackson of WA State died in 1983, there was an immediate special election and no appointment, but I could be wrong.
