The Supreme Court gave a mixed reception during oral arguments Tuesday to an effort to overturn a limit on how much political parties can spend in coordination with federal candidates.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee, as well as Vice President JD Vance from when he was a senator, and former Rep. Steve Chabot, R-Ohio, brought the challenge to argue that the limit on party spending violated the Constitution.
Several of the court’s majority of Republican appointees questioned whether the rule violated the free-speech rights of parties and distorted American politics, but they also expressed some concerns about the future of campaign finance restrictions.
