He most definitely should NOT withdraw. It's too late. If he withdrew at this late stage, the Reps (Trump) will win in November. It's really not possible to spin-up a campaign on such short notice, and much of the funds are NOT transferrable between candidates (i.e. Biden has a war chest, but no one else can use it even if he withdraws).

So...bad idea.

Trump also should withdraw, based on the criteria people are judging Biden. He's even more mentally deficient. I'm not saying that as a pejorative, but just from observation. Even when he was POTUS he had episodes where he said actual undecipherable nonsense.

The Constitution doesn't have a maximum age, but perhaps it should. Some old folks are sharp as tacks into their 90s. But a lot of us slowly decline after 60 or so (I'm approaching 61, so not throwing stones at old people). Biden and Trump are both in their 70s, and neither is as sharp as they were in their 40s.

I would vote for a rabid badger before I voted for Trump. Though "dead hedgehog" works. :-)
