Has that ever succeeded in US history? A defeated incumbent senator running again and winning? Sure it worked for Trump and Grover Cleveland at the presidential level but I’m not sure. At any rate at the very least Tranel should have more than enough name recognition now too for a statewide run if she chooses to go for it.

Sen. Slade Gorton (R-Washington), the last Republican to represent them in the Senate achieved exactly this.
Lost his seat 51% - 49% to Brock Adams (D) in 1986, then ran for the other seat in 1988 and WON 51% - 49% against future Gov. Mike Lowry (D). 💙🇺🇲
Yes it has more than once
North Dakota, with Kent Conrad in the 1990s.
