I think Roberts and the SCOTUS will ultimately decide his fate. Any purple state Trump has influence over is going to mysteriously lose a bunch of ballots. Dems blame the GOP. GOP blame the Dems. The election becomes distilled down to ambiguities in Florida and Texas, and then Roberts and his team will either intervene on his behalf or the GOP acts before Pelosi takes over and all sides join forces to call it for Biden.

That’s a possible scenario. But the chances of it coming down to one or two states seems pretty slim. All the swing states are in contention and most are solidly favoring Biden. I think what’s more likely is that Biden is a generally clear winner on election night, and then Trump flips his stance on mail-in ballots demanding that all states wait until they’re all counted and then tries to inflate the counts in various ways.
