There's a post-election poll out there where one of the questions was Biden vs. Trump if Biden stayed in the race, and Trump won that 49-42. If that's anywhere near accurate, they probably would have lost 6-7 more states and we'd probably be looking at 57-43 Senate that would potentially give Republicans control of the Senate for the next 6-8 years at least.
And that assumes that Biden didn't continue to drag his own campaign down with more debate-like performances. Even though they lost, getting him out of the race was massive in limiting the damage.
