52% of voters in the 2020 election were over 50 [1], so they're not even that disconnected generationally from their voters.
The median age of Americans overall is 38 [2], and if you took out minors, you're probably well over 40. Again not that different in age.
One could also argue that since the USA is getting older all the time, that gap is going to disappear completely in the next 10-20 years.
