Yes. But not at the same time. And they can only be domiciled in one of the states.
Resident simply means living there for more than a transitory period. So, someone with two homes would be a resident of each of the two states during the periods they live there.
But a person can only be domiliced in one state, either where they spend the majority of their time, or they must pick one.

Not really technically, though people often live in more than 1 state. I believe that is because of the way the tax code is written!

Residency can only be established in one state and staying in other states could only be transient or temporary for business, educational or other purposes.

Sure. Government agencies will force you to choose one as your 'domicile' or primary residence.
The book "How to be Invisible" by J.J. Luna covers multi-state residence issues among other things.

Many retired folks do just that. My in-laws live in Wyoming but "winter" in Arizona. Pay property taxes in both states, but only get to vote in one.

Yes, property defines locational residence.
Keep a pied-a- terre, bank accounts, auto registered, etc
and you will be fine.

Maintain two residences and dual state licenses and it is possible. When you fill out your taxes it gets dicey.
