One interesting thing is that young people are moving towards the GOP. It makes sense. For all of liberals concerns about Trump, ultimately his term was good for most people economically (peace and prosperity) and if you are young COVID likely meant you skipped school for a year too. Then they reached adulthood during Biden's term and wow, they cant afford rent or food. Bummer.
Plus liberals are now the fogey establishment (one reason we absolutely need to ditch all of these oldsters - get anyone over 60 out of leadership).
But this actually might make things a little easier for Dems to transition towards a more culturally populist message. So much of the drive for change that I mentioned above comes from young people - we needed to do student loan foregiveness, and maximal immigration policy, and focus on climate change to appease young college grads.
If they are already less liberal, then we can ignore them a little more in favor of doing things that are broadly more popular, but less popular with young college students.
Of course the problem doesnt entirely go away - young college students are still a big part of the coalition (as we are seeing with I/P) but it might help.

imo your 60 number is ridiculous (getting where you are coming from but 60???)
