The Supreme Court on Tuesday struck down federal constraints limiting how much political parties can coordinate spending with their own candidates, declaring the rules a violation of Vice President Vance’s free-speech protections. The 6–3 decision, written by Justice Kavanaugh, lets parties and candidates pool unlimited funds for joint advertising and other shared expenses. Three liberal justices dissented, warning the ruling weakens Congress’s ability to prevent corruption. Former President Donald Trump celebrated the outcome on social media, calling it a win for Republicans and the First Amendment. The Justice Department stopped defending the restrictions after Trump took office, prompting the Democratic National Committee to argue in favor of keeping them. Republicans, who currently hold a significant fundraising edge, are expected to benefit the most.
