Supreme Court Ends Limits on Party and Candidate Coordination
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the federal government cannot cap how much a political party spends when working directly with its candidates. This decision strikes down a long-standing campaign finance limit and allows for unlimited coordination. Because of this change, Republican campaign groups can now access lower broadcast advertising rates that were once only available to individual candidates. Democratic lawmakers are now drafting a legislative response to the ruling. Critics argue that unlimited spending by wealthy donors will harm the interests of working families. While some supporters of the ruling suggest that foreign money is a more significant problem than party spending, opponents believe the decision will increase the influence of corporations in elections.
