besalel,

“When vacancies happen in the Representation from any State, the Executive Authority thereof shall issue Writs of Election to fill such Vacancies.”
— U.S. Constitution, Article I, section 2, clause 4

If he resigns , then as is the law by all vacancies in congress due to death, resignation, declination, withdrawal, or House action, the Constitution requires that they be filled by election.

Nobody gets to appoint the loser as a permanent replacement.
