Sen. Jon Ossoff and other Democratic congressional candidates filed a brief Thursday asking the Supreme Court to reject Republican efforts to overturn an appeals court ruling that restricted the availability of lower political broadcasting rates for coordinated campaigns.
The Supreme Court has issued multiple election-related rulings during the 2026 midterm cycle that legal experts say will significantly benefit Republicans, including decisions affecting campaign finance and birthright citizenship. The moves come as Democrats hold substantial fundraising advantages in key Senate races.
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to eliminate federal restrictions on how much political parties can spend in coordination with their candidates for Congress and president, overturning campaign finance laws more than 50 years old. The case was initially filed by then-Senate candidate JD Vance, now Vice President.
