When an object is at rest, static friction is acting on it. But once it is overcome, the object moves comparatively easier due to the fact that the moving objects face kinetic friction which is always less than static friction.

It's not the friction you have to overcome, but its inertia, proportional to its mass. Think of an astronaut servicing something on the outside of the International Space Station. There is no friction acting on him, he is weightless and both he and spaceship are moving together through space at great speed; , but he still has mass so to move himself along the hull he still needs to push against it to overcome his inertia.

It is generally easier to push an object once it is moving than when you are getting it started because of what?

It is easier to push an object once it is moving due to inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion, so once an object is in motion, it requires less force to keep it moving than to overcome its initial static state.
