Victorious Midterm Candidates Could Remake Money They Pour Into Their Own Campaigns, Thanks To New Supreme Court Ruling

A Monday ruling from the Supreme Court will allow wealthy candidates to remake the cash they loan to their own campaigns — but only if they win.

Six of the nine justices ruled in favor of a challenge from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) to a federal law that “limits how political campaigns can repay candidates for money they lend their own campaigns,” The New York Times reported. “The ruling was the latest in a series of decisions dismantling various aspects of campaign finance regulations on First Amendment grounds.”
