The Supreme Court ruled in NRSC v. FEC that political parties can spend unlimited amounts of money in direct coordination with their own candidates. The decision removes a prior limit on such spending five months before the midterms.
The ruling follows earlier decisions, including Citizens United in 2010 and Federal Election Commission v. Ted Cruz for Senate. Those cases also struck down restrictions on political spending.
A former senior government official who served across five Cabinet agencies proposed publicly financed elections as an alternative. The official suggested an amendment stating that elections for federal public office shall be funded publicly. The last constitutional amendment was ratified in 1992.
