New Hampshire voters will have the choice between former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and former President Donald Trump in the upcoming Republican primary. However, the situation in neighboring Maine remains uncertain. Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows has ruled that Trump cannot appear on Maine's primary ballot due to a 14th Amendment ban on those who have engaged in insurrection from holding office.

The Supreme Court is expected to weigh in on the matter in early February. While waiting for the decision, a University of New Hampshire poll found that 50 percent of New Hampshirites support Bellows's decision, while 42 percent oppose it. Concerning understanding the 14th Amendment provision, 35 percent said they understand it very well, while 42 percent said they understand it only somewhat well.

New Hampshire residents are divided on Trump's removal from Maine's primary ballot. Opponents argue that Trump did not engage in insurrection and was not responsible for the events of January 6. Supporters acknowledge concerns about the precedent set by removing a candidate from the ballot but believe the 14th Amendment outweighs those concerns.

In the meantime, a judge has dismissed a second lawsuit that sought to prevent Trump from appearing on the New Hampshire ballot. The lawsuit was filed by little-known Republican candidate John Anthony Castro, who argued that Trump is ineligible to run due to the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment. The judge's dismissal comes just before New Hampshire's primary.

As Maine voters prepare to go to the polls, the question remains: will they have the option to choose Donald Trump in the Republican primary?
