With the more than 20 years, and continuing, of Republican overrepresentation in the Senate, control by the Democratic majority is impossible. What needs to happen is making D.C. and Puerto Rico States of the Union and get rid of the Electoral College. Only then will the federally elected actually represent the voters.

The original intent of the Senate was to represent the States, not the voters. That's what the House is for.

  True, and unfortunately neither body does that today, as the size of the House is artificially limited well below what it should be.

  The 17th Amendment changed all that. Senators are elected by and represent voters, not state legislatures.
