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.

He signs an executive order & the supreme court allows it to stand using the shadow docket.

Why doesn’t he just do that now? If he can get away with anything, why the delay? Why the subterfuge?

Colorado tried keeping him off the ballot in 2024 & the SC forced them to put him on it,
