New Englanders have a saying about the weather: If you don't like it, just wait a few minutes, and it's bound to change.  The same can be said for presidential politics in the snow-covered region, USA TODAY's Karissa Waddick reports. ➡️ The DeSantis Dynamic: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis dropping out of the 2024 Republican primary is the latest twist in New Hampshire ahead of its Tuesday primary. Now, what was once a crowded, 14-candidate GOP field is a two-person battle between former President Donald Trump and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. 🤞Nikki Haley bets on New Hampshire: Haley is betting everything on winning, or at least coming in a close second, in the New Hampshire. But the odds aren't in her favor. Trump led Haley 55% to 36% in a Suffolk University/Boston Globe/NBC-10 tracking poll conducted in the state between January 18 and January 19.    And DeSantis' exit may bolster Trump's lead. Nearly 60% of the Florida governor's likely voters said Trump was their second choice in the poll.    Read more here: Nikki Haley's supporters brace for nail-biter against Donald Trump after Ron DeSantis drops out Stay in the know on politics: Sign up for the OnPolitics newsletter   Biden expands abortion, contraception protections on Roe v.
