I would like offer a counter-point.
People assume that Trump wants to delay the election to delay the end of his presidency. ...but pushing the date of the election back, say one month, would not alter the last day of him being President.
Given that this is a speculative political fear post, I don't really think it belongs on HN.
If another President had suggested changing the vote date because of a national pandemic, I'm not sure it would be meaningful news.

I agree the degree of newsworthiness would be lesser - but I don't agree with the implication that the president in question should not be a variable in the equation.
