President Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee are preparing to significantly increase spending in the 2026 midterm elections.

This is a direct result of the U.S. Supreme Court eliminating federal limits on how much political parties can spend in coordination with individual candidates.

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 Tuesday that restrictions on coordinated party spending violate the First Amendment, ending limits that had been in place under a 1974 campaign finance law.

The Washington Examiner reported that an unnamed senior Trump political aide said the RNC entered the summer with about $125 million on hand, while Trump has nearly $350 million available for political efforts.

The aide said Republicans believe they could outspend Democrats by one of the largest margins in a midterm election.

"Our resources will be utilized," the aide told the Examiner, calling the ruling "a big boost" to Republican efforts to retain control of one or both chambers of Congress.

"We have the resources to actually tell the story and create the clear contrast that we want," the aide said. "We will not get outspent this cycle, and that will be the first time in history for Republicans."

Trump welcomed the ruling on Truth Social, calling it "A BIG WIN FOR REPUBLICANS and, more importantly, The First Amendment."

Vice President JD Vance, who has served as the RNC's finance chairman since last year, also played a role in the legal challenge that led to Tuesday's decision.

RNC Chairman Joe Gruters credited Vance's relationship with Trump for helping drive fundraising success.

"He's not tasked with ceremonial things; it's real work, he's a real confidant of the president's," Gruters told the Examiner. "That's why they keep smashing fundraising records together."

Gruters called the ruling "a massive victory for the First Amendment."

"The RNC has been preparing for this ruling, and we are ready to expand the ways we directly help and provide resources to Republican candidates across the country," he said.

According to the Examiner, Democrats continue to deal with campaign debt remaining from the 2024 election despite strong fundraising this cycle.

The report said Republicans expect the expanded spending authority to help promote Trump's legislative agenda, including the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, during the closing months of the campaign.

Trump has a 50% favorability rating, according to the political survey released Wednesday by pollster John McLaughlin. He told Newsmax that the poll measured voter sentiment toward the president.

"What's going on is President Trump succeeding," McLaughlin said. "You're seeing that the Democrats realize that Trump has built the Republican Party into a working-class party, [one that] represents American values. And he's succeeding."

McLaughlin said Democrats lack a unifying message comparable to Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan.
