he can (seems to be looking for a reason to) declare martial law in order to indefinitely suspend elections, since the protesters didn’t riot.

they know their goose is cooked electorally.

stealing another regime’s oil by warring with them is icing on the cake of a republican president’s playbook.

ah, suspend not cancel. that's an important semantic distinction (thank you!) which makes the effort easier in a way.

you know, from a propaganda perspective.

He can't. The federal elections are not run by the federal government. The states run the elections and he does not have enough forces to declare and implement martial law in all the blue and purple states to stop an election (especially if we have boots on the ground in Venezuela).
