Gerrymandering is a problem for the House of Representatives but not the Senate because States are always represented by two senators, regardless of the size of their population.  

Further explanation: Gerrymandering is meant for the purpose of laying the foundation of political advantage by interfering with the boundaries of the district to its own advantage. In the case of the United States, partisan gerrymandering is often seen where one political party is favored over the other.  

Though extreme gerrymandering has been declared unconstitutional, there are still loopholes regarding the declaration that doesn't specify as to what exactly is an "extreme" case. Some states have formed redistricting commissions to lessen the political urge to redistrict. Alternative systems of voting have been formed to avoid dependency on the need to draw boundaries.  

Many Democrats considered gerrymandering as one of the toughest hurdles to deal with during the phase of the 2018 U. S. Midterm Election. It was claimed that the Republican parties and Pennsylvania had made the blunder of unconstitutional partisan gerrymandering. Not only this, gerrymandering is often blamed for decreasing elections that are genuine and competitive.  

However, in the case of the Senate, Gerrymandering has no ground for development owing to the state borders that are fixed.
