US EditionSupreme Court takes up a Republican appeal to end limits on party spending in federal elections
UNITED STATES, JUN 30 – The Republican challenge contests federal coordinated spending limits as unconstitutional, with the Justice Department backing the claim and limits ranging up to $4 million for Senate races in 2025.
- The Supreme Court agreed Monday to hear a Republican-led challenge, backed by the Trump administration, to federal limits on coordinated party spending in elections.
- In 2022, Ohio Republicans including NRSC, NRCC, Vance, and Chabot filed a lawsuit challenging the 1972 FECA, claiming limits on coordinated spending violate the First Amendment.
- The Sixth Circuit upheld 2025 spending caps ranging from $127,200 to nearly $4 million, but UCLA expert Richard Hasen predicts they will be struck down.
- In fall 2025, oral arguments are scheduled, with a decision expected in 2026; the Democratic National Committee was granted permission to intervene and defend the limits.
- More broadly, a ruling overturning current campaign spending limits could enable large donors to bypass individual caps, reshaping midterm election dynamics beyond the 2026 vote.
