Vice President JD Vance's Ambiguity on 2028 Presidential Run Affects Supreme Court Campaign Finance Case
Vice President JD Vance's indecision regarding a potential 2028 presidential run is impacting a Supreme Court case concerning campaign finance restrictions. The case challenges limits on how much party committees can spend in coordination with candidates. Vance, who initially contested these limits as a Senate candidate, has not confirmed any future candidacy, leading to arguments that the case is moot. Roman Martinez, appointed by the court to defend the restrictions, argues that Vance's lack of a concrete plan to run for office nullifies his stake in the case. The Supreme Court's conservative majority, historically skeptical of campaign finance restrictions, is hearing the case, which could have significant implications for party spending in elections.
