They’re not going to become magically better now repealing the 17th, which is the whole point.
Reverting the selection of Senators to pre 17th method will restore the representation of each States population. Currently only the urbanized population centers are represented or the majority voting block. Pennsylvania’s as an example. The Senate and house are both controlled by the GOP but we end up with D governors and Federal level D senators.
It’s because Philly/Pittsburgh and the other small cities are controlling state wide elections. If we get rid of the 175th then each county would have input.
Only a true historical idiot would defend the 17th amendment.
