Theodore Roosevelt.
Yes, after barely losing the Republican nomination in 1940, he ran again in 1944 and 1948, winning the nomination both times but also losing both elections.
In the 1912 presidential election, William Howard Taft earned the Republican nomination. Taft, who was the incumbent president at the time, faced significant opposition from former president Theodore Roosevelt, who ran as a third-party candidate after losing the Republican nomination. The split in the Republican vote between Taft and Roosevelt ultimately contributed to the victory of Democrat Woodrow Wilson.
Woodrow Wilson won the 1912 presidential election largely due to the split in the Republican Party, which occurred when former President Theodore Roosevelt ran as a third-party candidate for the Progressive Party after losing the Republican nomination to William Howard Taft. This division allowed Wilson, the Democratic candidate, to secure a plurality of votes. Additionally, Wilson's platform of progressive reforms, known as the "New Freedom," resonated with voters seeking change, further bolstering his electoral success.

Incumbent President Millard Fillmore failed to get the Whig Party nomination in 1852, losing it to Winfield Scott. In 1856, incumbent President Franklin Pierce lost the Democratic Party nomination to James Buchanan. Andrew Johnson's lack of popularity is blamed for his loss of the Democratic Party nomination of 1868. Although incumbent President Chester A. Arthur was one of the frontrunners in the 1884 election campaign, he did not make a serious bid for re-nomination due to his health. Other one-term Presidents either did not seek re-nomination or won the nomination but lost the election.

Bush ran Twice. First in 2000 and then in 2004. He won both times.
I remember his as a flawed character. Instead of waiting until 1916 for the presidential nomination, he decided to run against the Republican incumbent in 1912, splitting the vote and giving the election to Wilson. Next he wrecked his health by going on a poorly planned exploring trip in the Amazon jungle. He pushed his son, Quentin, into becoming a military pilot and losing his life in WW I.
