I still would not be surprised to see Thomas step down if Trump loses. It is no secret that he wants to retire. Stepping down in November would give McConnel time to get a replacement done.
If Thomas stays, then the next POTUS will likely appoint his replacement.
Adding justices to SCOTUS would be a dangerous precedent. It would almost guarantee the GOP adding some when it returns to power (and it will, sooner than expected).
