Supreme Court rules political party limits on campaign spending are unconstitutional in midterm win for GOP

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ruled that federal limits on coordinated spending between political parties and their preferred candidates are unconstitutional, a decision with sweeping implications for this year’s midterm elections and beyond. The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) had mounted a First Amendment challenge in 2022 to the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, arguing that it unconstitutionally capped so-called “coordinated funding expenditures,” which are mainly used for campaign advertising. The high court had upheld the expenditure limits in the 2001 case of FEC v.
