Unless something happens between now and Noon on Wednesday, to "un-elect" (per the Jan 6th joint session of Congress) Biden and/or Harris, then they will become President and Vice President at that time, period.
Neither Biden nor Harris can exercise their new office until they take the prescribed oath for their new office, respectively. As is their duty, the Secret Service will work to ensure that these two are secure and have taken their oaths immediately starting at Noon.
So, what can happen before then that actually matters? Biden and/or Harris could refuse the office, fall ill or die. That's it. I am counting on the first one.
