The GOP will get slammed badly, and everyone knows it. A Democratic-run House could move to impeach on any one of a dozen different charges, and a frightened bunch of Republican senators might even join the Democrats in voting to remove a lame-duck Trump from office.
Donald Trump can sense these threats, and you can bet everything you've got that he will take any and all measures to protect himself. By the time the mid-terms occur, he could declare martial law; or he could try to disallow voting by mail; or he could implement onerous voter-ID requirements in Democratic strongholds; or he could implement other forms of voter suppression. Donald Trump is incredibly stupid, but his self-preservations skills are second to none... moreover, he knows no boundaries.
I expect unprecedented (un-presidented?) fireworks for those mid-terms...
