Well, the Senate small state advantage is baked in (and also baked in to the electoral vote), so nothing wrong with it and we ain't doing anything about it.
The House is different. The redistricting that sets who redistricts is all state house controlled. The Rs simply have a gerrymandering advantage. One election cycle won't break it, only a sustained effort to turn red states blue at a local level will.

If Democrats are in a bunch of urban districts with no Republicans, you could have a distribution where a GOP with minority support nonetheless gets majority support in a majority of districts.
