Because if Biden can hide out until noon Eastern Time next Wednesday, then take the oath, all the loyal military will immediately turn on Trump and, if he or his resist with force, summarily execute them as traitors under martial law. Martial law does not alter the fact that the Presidency will change hands at that hour, and any troops who hold dear the oath they swore to defend the Constitution will follow Biden's leadership.
