Don't think anybody has brought up a lame duck presidency

There has been discussions about it not leaving after it loses in November. Has it been brought out that between November and January we could have a lame duck president and republican senators. What kind of chaos could they bring upon us? I can see where starting in September we could have continuing budget resolutions, but on Nov 4th, the beast could shut down the government until inauguration day.
