Supreme Court strikes down limits on party spending in federal elections, backing Republican appeal

The Supreme Court eliminated limits on political party spending in federal elections, overturning a 50-year-old law. A Republican-led lawsuit, including Vice President JD Vance, challenged these restrictions, which previously prevented large donors from bypassing contribution caps by funneling funds to parties. The decision aligns with the court's 2010 Citizens United ruling but reverses a 2001 precedent that upheld the spending limits.
