Why is the senate more prestigious?

Answer 1

The large size of the House generally prevents representatives from gaining as much notice and public exposure as members of the Senate attract. Senators, and especially those who have presidential ambitions, are better able to capture national media attention. Over the past several elections, the Senate has emerged as a prime source of contenders for the presidential nomination in both parties. Senators find it easier to establish themselves as the champions of public policies that appeal to large segments of the American people. Senators are also more likely to be covered by the media in their States. They tend to have more clout in their state's politics than that enjoyed by members of the lower house.
It's probably because there are 4.35 as many House members as there are Senators, so it's harder for a Senator to get lost in the crowd.
