The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to take up Vice President Vance and GOP committees’ bid to strike down federal limits on political parties’ spending made in coordination with campaigns.
It sets the stage for a major campaign finance battle during the court’s next annual term, which begins in October.
Twenty-four years ago, the Supreme Court upheld so-called “coordinated party expenditure limits,” which were originally passed as part of broader campaign finance reforms in the 1970s.
As a senator, Vance in 2022 commenced a new attempt to topple the limits under the First Amendment’s free speech protections by suing alongside former Rep. Steve Chabot (R-Ohio), the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) and the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC).
In their petition to the high court, they said it is “past time” to clarify the earlier decision or overrule it outright.
