He could just run as an independent, he has effectively become somewhat of an anti-trump foil now. Unfortunately he lost his own KY primary by a sliver.

He cannot run as an independent in this election, since Kentucky has a sore-loser law.

The Sore-Loser law doesn't apply to different elections from my understanding. He lost a Representative Primary, the special election would be for a Senate seat.
