Even if the electios are free in fair, I don't think he'd be done in November.
The only way he's "done" is if GOP loses every single last senate seat up for grabs. Every single one in Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Kansas, Oklahoma, South Dakota, West Virginia, Florida, Texas, etc.
Hell, most analysts think that Democrats don't have a realistic chance of even getting a simple senate majority, let alone a veto-proof one or even a filibuster proof one.
If they don't then they cannot remove anyone from office, they cannot override vetos. Yes, they can decline to pass bills, but given their stance of 'executive branch has supreme power', they'll just do illegal executive orders and ignore the courts unless the supreme court agrees with them. Trump is already declared immune from any and all crimes except by the Senate and has the ability to pardon any and all federal cases, and that's assuming his own enforcement agencies even bother trying to punish anyone...
