because with all the rebukes and dems up for reelection, many will be out of a job if there is no elelction prior to January 20th; Nancy being one of them.
so it would go to who would be senior majority leader after all the vacant seats are removed. In the end it there would be more Dems than repukes and the senior member of the senatei s Patrick Leahy. Which I'm perfectly fine with.

What if COVID-19 postpones the presidential election? Here's how Sen. Leahy could be POTUS

In the event the presidential election was postponed, a Vermonter could ascend to the highest office in the land. Not Bernie Sanders — but Sen. Patrick Leahy.

The Los Angles Times did an article about what would happen if the presidential election was postponed. Could President Donald Trump keep office, would House Speaker Nancy Pelosi become president or acting president?
Here is how his reasoning breaks down, according to Millhiser on Twitter:
-On Jan. 20, 2021 Trump and Vice-president Mike Pence's terms expire. They could not seek office.
-The Speaker of the House is third in line, but without an election every house member's term expires Jan. 3, including Pelosi.
-Fourth in line is president pro tempore of the Senate, the senior most member of the majority party, currently Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-IA. But, the majority party would flip because 23 Republicans and 12 Democratic seats would be up for re-election in 2020, with terms expiring in January.
-Losing less seats, the Democrats would have control of the Senate. The senior most member of the majority party, fourth in line, would be Leahy.
