US Supreme Court Removes Federal Limits on Coordinated Party Spending in Campaigns
The US Supreme Court on June 30 struck down a federal law limiting coordinated spending by political parties with candidates for Congress and the presidency, ending restrictions in place for over 50 years. The case, backed by Republican committees and including Senator JD Vance, challenged caps intended to prevent large donors from circumventing contribution limits. The ruling, following the 2010 Citizens United decision, removes coordinated spending limits, with Democrats urging preservation and the Federal Election Commission siding with Republicans to repeal the law.
