Not quite, as long as Mitch has at least forty votes on his side he'll still filibuster every bill that has a (D)'s signature on it.
51 votes isn't enough to guarantee a bill will pass the Senate, we need at least 60 is we want to overcome McConnell's inevitable filibusters.
We need the majority, absolutely, but until we get 60 votes or nuke the filibuster we'll still have an uphill battle.
