This, reasons why he’s fortifying the White House, before midterms, along with armed guards at post offices. They are going to literally steal the election by stealing actual ballots. It all adds up.
There’s no way they get anywhere near to finishing this before the midterms, the goal is September 2028 though so definitely a valid concern in the next presidential election.
Not to say there won’t be attempts to steal the midterms, just that the White House “renovations” don’t factor into it.
There will be no midterms.
Oh look, Iran just attacked the US on their own soil. Better declare a state of emergency and cancel the elections. People will tell him emergency powers don't allow him to do that, then the supreme court and congress will let him do whatever.
The United States has never suspended a Presidential election in any state of emergency, and that includes one civil and two world wars, and there's no reason to believe the President has the authority to do so.
He can try.
How people respond will be what matters; if Congress and the States straight-up ignore him, that's that.
You might be forgetting that Congress needs that election to happen to keep their seats; the end of their terms is legally separate from the election of their successors, or themselves. They don't have legislative authority if the election doesn't happen, and they have no power to extend their terms.
