Supreme Court will consider walking back campaign spending limits

The Supreme Court will soon decide whether the Federal Election Commission‘s coordinated expenditure limits between political parties and candidates are constitutional, possibly opening the floodgates for more coordinated spending in next year’s midterm elections.

In National Republican Senatorial Committee v. Federal Election Commission, the justices will hear arguments on Tuesday over a challenge brought by the Republican Party’s Senate campaign arm regarding limits between parties and candidates. The high court has largely pared back other campaign finance limits in similar cases, most recently in 2022, when it struck down restrictions around candidates’ loans to their own campaigns in FEC v. Ted Cruz for Senate.
