Supreme Court Bolsters GOP With Discounted Political Ad Rates Ahead of Midterms
The Supreme Court ruled that national party committees may buy TV and radio ads at the lowest candidate-ad rates, overturning a lower-court block and aligning with a June ruling on coordinated spending. The decision largely benefits Republicans, who hold a large cash lead in the race, by expanding access to cheaper ad slots as the midterms approach, potentially strengthening party committees over super PACs.
