US EditionSupreme Court takes up a Republican appeal to end limits on party spending in federal elections
- The Supreme Court agreed in 2025 to review a Republican-led challenge to federal limits on coordinated party spending in elections.
- The challenge grew from a 2022 Ohio lawsuit filed by Republican committees and two then-Ohio Congress members, including J.D. Vance and Steve Chabot.
- Since 2005, a conservative majority on the court has relaxed congressional spending restrictions, with 2025 coordinated party spending limits for Senate campaigns varying from $127,200 in less populous states up to almost $4 million in California.
- The Trump administration supports the case, calling it a rare First Amendment free-speech exception and asserting the law violates constitutional protections.
- The case will be argued in the fall, with election experts predicting the court may strike down spending limits amid concerns about super PACs increasing corruption and inequality.
