💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court is reviewing a Republican-backed effort, supported by the Trump administration, to overturn a 2001 decision that limits political party spending in coordination with candidates. Democrats advocate for maintaining the law to prevent large donors from circumventing contribution caps. The Federal Election Commission and GOP argue for revisiting these limits, aligning with recent court decisions that have eased campaign finance restrictions. The court's conservative majority, led by Chief Justice John Roberts, has previously loosened regulations on political spending.
