Supreme Court to Hear GOP Challenge on Campaign Finance Limits

The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to review a Republican-led challenge to federal campaign finance law, focusing on regulations that limit coordinated spending between political parties and candidates. The case involves Vice President JD Vance, who was running for the U.S. Senate in Ohio when the litigation began.

The appeal, backed by Republican committees and President Donald Trump's administration, contests a lower court ruling that upheld spending restrictions as constitutional. Lawyers argue these limits infringe on First Amendment rights. The court is expected to hear the case in the upcoming term starting in October.

Democratic groups have intervened to uphold current restrictions, stating that Republican efforts to dismantle statutory spending limits threaten established electoral integrity. The decision comes on the heels of significant shifts in campaign finance law, highlighted by the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United ruling.
