Attorney touts Supreme Court's ruling on nationwide injunctions: 'Seismic victory'
President of American Frontier Mehek Cooke joins 'Fox & Friends First' to discuss the impact of the Supreme Court's ruling on nationwide injunctions and her predictions for Sean 'Diddy' Combs' trial outcome as jury deliberations are set to begin.
The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to take up a Republican-led challenge to U.S. campaign finance restrictions that limit the amount of money that political parties can spend on behalf of certain candidates— a case that could have major implications for the 2026 midterm elections.
The case, National Republican Senatorial Committee v. Federal Election Commission, was originally appealed to the court by the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), and on behalf of two Senate Republican candidates running for election in 2022— among them, now-Vice President J.D. Vance.
It centers on whether federal limits on campaign spending from political parties runs afoul of First Amendment protections, including free speech, under the U.S. Constitution.
