Supreme Court Voids Campaign Spending Caps

Supreme Court Voids Campaign Spending Caps

In a landmark campaign finance ruling, the Supreme Court eliminated the cap on coordinated party spending, which had been in place for over 50 years.

The decision, split along ideological lines, held that the restriction violated the First Amendment.

Critics warned that the ruling would flood elections with dark money and further empower wealthy donors.

The ruling immediately reshapes the financial landscape for the 2026 midterm elections, particularly benefiting Republican candidates.
