They're most likely to let Republicans win but hold the senate to 51R or 52R. Republicans wouldn't have enough power to impeach or force through too much but the masses would trust that elections were relatively honest for just a little while longer.
If they blatantly let the steal happen, then many wouldn't believe that it was stolen in 2020. They have to keep up appearances that 2020 was "the most secure election" as they've spouted every time POTUS Trump or another MAGA person brings it up.

I'm starting to lean this way, too.

They don’t care about pretense anymore
