Yes, it would be possible, though not likely, for North Dakota and South Dakota to become one state. However, it would take the approval of both state legislatures, along with approval by the US Congress.

Article 4 of the
US Constitution says:
Section 3: 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.
