Nobody has said it so clearly: in an online fundraiser, the democratic Trump challenger Joe Biden (77) said that Trump wanted to postpone the November 3 election. Biden: “Remember my words: I think he will try to postpone the elections somehow and find a reason why they cannot be held.”

There have been speculations several times that Trump wants to postpone the elections because the oversleeping of the corona crisis could cost him votes. The virus has so far claimed over 50,000 lives and over 26 million unemployed people in the United States.

Biden said: “It’s the only way he thinks he can possibly win.”

Arch enemy Pelosi would take over the presidency
A shift has so far been considered unlikely since the date is set by Congress. In addition, Trump’s term in office ends either way on January 20, 2021. If no election has taken place by then, the succession plan that applies to the unexpected departure of a president from office takes effect.

Since Vice President Mike Pence’s (60) term of office would also end on January 20 next year at the latest, the next person in this ranking would be Nancy Pelosi (80), the Democratic majority leader in the House of Representatives, who the US President did not die on can stand.
