He could launch the invasion and use it as an excuse to declare state of emergency and postpone the mid-terms to... never.

He made several comments about how convenient it is for Zelensky that Ukraine holds no elections during the war.

He might want to do that but it's not very likely to succeed; the U. S. doesn't suspend elections during wartime. They didn't during their own civil war: no way a foreign war would have any precedent or sway anyone.
