I don’t know.

I looked it up!

US Constitution
Article 4 Section 3: New states and federal property
Clause 1: Admission of new states
Main article: Admission to the Union
See also: List of U.S. states by date of admission to the Union
New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new States shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.

I can’t see both legislatures & Congress agreeing!
