GOP appeals to Supreme Court to restore cheaper political TV ads
TL;DR Summary
Republican campaign committees asked the Supreme Court to allow them to buy television political ads at the lower, federally mandated rates, arguing the FCC guidance makes the discounts available to parties and groups as well as candidates; a 4th Circuit ruling had limited the rate to candidates, and broadcasters have been pulling back on discounts. The Trump administration backs the GOP filing, and the Court is expected to act in coming weeks, a decision that could influence midterm ad spending.
