The elected president must resign his position in the senate causing a vacancy as occurs if a senator dies in office or resigns for any reason. What happens next depends upon the state legislature of the affected state. According to the 17th Amendment the state legislature can direct the governor to appoint someone to temporarily serve as senator until an election can be held or else leave the office open until an election can be held. The exact timing of the election is left to the legislature.

This can be accomplished if the vice president must finish the term of another president and the time remaining is equal to but less than 2 more years. At that point the sitting president can be elected two more times. Could you claim they were re-elected twice? That's up to the observer.
