Slade Gorton (WA) hold the very unusual distinction of being defeated for re-election to both of his state’s US Senate seats.

I think he might be the only person to have accomplished this, at least in the century since we’ve have direct election of Senators.

Chapman Revercomb (R-WV) also managed that. (His second defeat, in 1958, was to Robert Byrd, who ran to his right on race issues and made Revercomb's vote for the Civil Rights Act of 1957 into an issue.)
