It will never Happen
Why? Because firstly, in doing so, the Democrat Party would lose a lot of control and influence in Congress. They cannot afford that.
Secondly, California survives from Federal Tax dollars. Without a way to get money from the big pot, then they will have to survive on just income from taxing their citizens.
Thirdly, California is already hemorrhaging a lot of businesses and high income earners because of their high taxes. If they secede, then they will have to rely even more heavily on taxing their own.
Fourthly, California is so desperate for income that they are taxing their citizens on exiting. Then they follow them to wherever they move to, and try to get more state taxes from them for years after they have left California. This is a legal quagmire, and if a person were to leave the United States to live in another country, and be a citizen of that country, then the place they left would have no legal power over them, i.e. no income taxes.
