Congress could theoretically extend his term, although IIRC that time is determined in the Constitution so that's an interesting legal conundrum.
They're not going to extend his term by the way, or shift the date of the election to a point after the 31st of December at the latest. It takes time to prepare new congresscritters, and the only people in Congress who could take seat as the new president of the USA in case there is no election are the senators whose seats weren't up for election.
Or, you know, unelected bureaucrats. That'll be popular.
