Top claims

  • ▪Lawyers for the Democratic candidates argued that the U.S. Solicitor General assured the Supreme Court in 2025 that federal law requires low broadcast rates for candidate spending but not for party spending.
  • ▪The Democratic candidates argued they have standing because rival Republican committees promised to spend hundreds of millions of dollars at candidate rates to obliterate them if the Federal Communications Commission's notice stands.
  • ▪The Republican National Committee holds a significant cash advantage over the Democratic National Committee, whereas Democratic candidates have outraised Republican candidates in several closely watched individual races.
