Supreme 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 lawsuit challenging limits on coordinated party spending in federal elections filed in Ohio in 2022.
- The suit, supported by the Trump administration, argues the law violates First Amendment free-speech protections and asserts this case warrants a rare exception.
- The lawsuit involves Republican committees and Ohio Congress members, including then-Senator J.D. Vance and Rep. Steve Chabot, aiming to remove spending caps established over 50 years ago.
- In 2025, coordinated party spending limits range from $127,200 in small states to nearly $4 million in California, while the expert Richard Hasen predicts the court will strike down these limits.
- If the court sides with Republicans, donors could bypass individual contribution caps by funneling unlimited funds to parties for candidate-related spending, possibly increasing corruption.
