On June 30, 2026, the US Supreme Court overturned a lower court ruling that had limited spending by political parties in support of their federal candidates. This decision eliminates one of the last barriers preventing wealthy donors from sending unlimited funds to federal political campaigns.

The case originated from a 2022 lawsuit challenging the Federal Election Commission's enforcement of limits on "coordinated party expenditures."

Former President Donald Trump celebrated the ruling on Truth Social, calling it "A BIG WIN FOR REPUBLICANS and, more importantly, The First Amendment!"

This ruling marks a significant change in campaign finance regulations in the United States.
