The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday struck down longstanding federal limits on how much political parties can spend in coordination with their candidates for Congress and the presidency.
For more than five decades, federal law capped the amount national political parties could spend in coordination with candidates. Depending on the office and state, those limits ranged from roughly $65,000 for House races to more than $4 million for Senate contests, while presidential campaigns were subject to much higher limits. Those restrictions have now been eliminated.
