As much as I think he will try anything, his term ends if he is not reelected.
And the Secret Service or Marshalls or DC police will escort him out of office.

And as someone else reminded me recently:

The office of the President resides with the person, not the location.

When Biden is sworn in, regardless if we are in the middle of pure chaos, He will be President. Even if he is doing it from a bathroom stall in Grand Central station with the building collapsing around him.

Hope it doesn’t come to that of course.
