Uh yes but the senators are also representing the entire state. If you would search you would see that is what every expert says. Your reluctance to see congressmen represent district and senators state is puzzling
No, Senators (now) represent the people of the entire state, not the State. There's a huge difference: it makes Senators subject to the whims of whatever's popular with the public during election season, not necessarily what's best for the State. Right now Senators are simply a bigger (or smaller) version of the House.
You are the one confusing the people of a state with the State as a sovereign state.

you keep saying the same incorrect thing and obviously didn’t do the search to show how wrong you are. I guess we’re done.

here’s a kick start
A U.S. senator represents a state as a whole and its interests in Congress. Since 1913, members of the Senate have been elected directly by the general population of a state, but before that, state legislatures appointed senators.
In terms of geography and population, there is a sizable difference between each state. The United States features a bicameral legislature, which seeks to eliminate the tension between equal representation for each state and equal representation for each person, regardless of state. This feature of the U.S. legislative system is known as the Great Compromise. There are two senators per state to give each state an equal say in the affairs of the federal government.
