Currently, there are 50 Republican Senators and 50 Senators who caucus with the Democrats.
But the 50 Democratic Senators currently represent 41.5 million more people than the 50 Republican Senators do.
It's just the way it is.

Every state, regardless how large or small, is represented by two US Senators in the US Senate. This was constructed as a means of ensuring that every state has equal rights and representation in the Senate regardless of the number of people living in the state.
So every state is on a level playing field in the US Senate. All states are equally important. As our founders intended. Population ensures more representation in the US House of Representatives. The Senate ensures equality between the states.
However, because of the population of the various states, this does mean that even though there are 50 Senators from each Major Party, the Senate Republican Caucus represents only 77.48% of the number of people who are represented by the Senate Dems. But their numbers are equal.
