Supreme Court takes up GOP challenge to FEC coordinated spending limits

The Supreme Court announced Monday that it will hear a case challenging the Federal Election Commission‘s rule limiting how much a political party may spend in coordination with candidates for political office.

The lawsuit was brought by the GOP’s Senate and House campaign wings, the National Republican Senatorial and the National Republican Congressional committees, respectively, as well as Vice President JD Vance, in 2022. It alleges that the FEC’s rule limiting the spending done in coordination between a candidate and a political party violates the party’s First Amendment rights.
