I don’t think you understand American politics. If Democrats control 60% of the Senate, they still do not have the majority needed to pass laws. They need to control at least 67% of the Senate to pass laws. Otherwise Republicans can block their vote. That’s why the Democrats could not convict Trump on impeachment even though they controlled more than 50% of the Senate at the time.
The senate only needs a simple majority to pass a bill. They need 60 for the cloture vote to end a filibuster. 67 votes are needed for conviction in an impeachment trial. A two-thirds vote is also needed in both the House and Senate to override a Presidential veto.
