Imagine going from being best known for losing the first big election of the Trump era to being the one who took away Mitch's gavel. Hell of a journey.

I think Beto O'Rourke is the best answer to this question. I don't think many people were actually expecting him to win, but to come within 3 points of winning as a Democrat in Texas is no small feat. If anything, his star burned even brighter after that. But he waited too long to get into the presidential race, and by that time his moment had passed and he resorted to making a total fool of himself to save his dying campaign. It didn't work, and he certainly will never win statewide in Texas.

Another one: Rudy Giuliani. America's Mayor to Four Seasons Total Landscaping. And now he may be going to prison.
