I'm not sure that that's an issue...at least not a *Constitutional* issue.Each state is entitled to two US Senators and at least one Representative.The lack of support,I suspect,would come from the Party that would likely be *hurt* by the new state's existence,as well as the state legislature of the states that support that Party (California,Rat Party...Idaho,Republican Party for example).
