They have regular referendums about this, in 2020 52% wanted to be a state, against 48% that didn't.

This year they will get another one with 3 options Statehood, Independence, or Free Association like the Marshall Islands or Micronesia (i.e. technically independent enough to have a UN seat, but dependent on the US for defense and things like social security).
