Donald Trump says Supreme Court ruling on political spending is "A BIG WIN FOR REPUBLICANS"

Donald Trump responded on Truth Social to a Supreme Court ruling, celebrating the decision as favorable to Republicans and to First Amendment rights. The case, National Republican Senatorial Committee v. FEC, invalidated federal limits on how much political parties could spend in concert with their candidates; the court’s six-justice majority said the ceilings amounted to restrictions on free speech. Justice Kagan’s dissent argued the change could create opportunities for corruption by permitting large donations to parties that pay candidate costs. According to the New York Daily News article, polling showed majorities of both parties disliked the ruling, and Republicans have about $600 million more in the kind of financing now allowed. The decision matters as campaign-money rules shift ahead of the midterms.
