All the citizens within his/her home state. The origins of Senatorial elections were that a Governor would elect the two Senators to represent the state of their election. The 17th amendment changed the election process to that of a popular public vote, but their duties were not changed. Unfortunately, as they are elected by the public, the States have little to no voice now to protect themselves from the ever growing Federal Government, which had been part of the reason for having Senators in the first place: to let the national issues, like defense or foreign relations, be decided by the Federal Government, and the rest by the states.and also all people in United States

Each state has 2 senators, therefore each senator still represents the entire population of the state he was seated from. Representatives, on the other hand, are decided based on the population of each state. The number of representatives is set at 435, so the actual number of people they represent varies from state to state.

Well, it depends on the state they represent. Each state has two senators to represent them, so I guess a senator would technically represent half of the state's population.

Each state has 2 Senators, so there isn't a set number. It all depends on the size of the state.
