Republicans invest $137M in race

Before the Supreme Court's ruling in June, restrictions on political party spending in coordination with candidates were limited. The Republican committees exceeded those limits by more than $126 million, while Democratic committees surpassed them by over $46 million ahead of the November midterm elections. Following the court's decision that lifted these restrictions, the Republican committees poured approximately $137 million from July to September to support their candidates, compared to $55 million from Democratic committees, in an effort to maintain balance in election races that saw Democratic donations outpacing Republican contributions. This move is part of the Republican Party’s effort to maintain control of Congress, benefiting from unlimited coordinated spending after the restrictions were lifted, despite the Campaigns Act of 1971, which had historically imposed limits on coordinated campaign spending.
