Court ruling threatens Republicans midterm TV ad advantage A federal appeals court ruling Tuesday could erase a new midterm advantage for Republicans.Why it matters: The 2-1 ruling would block Republicans from using cash-rich party committees to buy more political TV ads at discounted rates.Republicans plan to appeal the decision, setting up another high-stakes campaign finance fight as the fall ad wars heat up ahead of November.Driving the news: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ruled the FCC was wrong to extend discounted candidate broadcast rates to political parties and joint fundraising committees that include non-candidate groups for ads they coordinate with candidates.The rates paid by super PACs and other outside groups are often several times higher than candidate rates.The case was brought by four Democratic candidates running this cycle — Sen. Jon Ossoff (Ga.), former Sen. Sherrod Brown (Ohio), former Gov. Roy Cooper (N.C.) and Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet (Mich.)The U.S. Supreme Court in June struck down limits on how much committees can spend in coordination with campaigns.Between the lines: Republicans believed the Supreme Court decision, paired with FCC guidance extending candidate rates to certain coordinated ads, would allow party committee cash to stretch further.The ruling applied to both parties.But while Democratic candidates generally have stronger grassroots fundraising, Republican Party committees have amassed larger war chests, fueled by megadonorsRepublicans believed the Supreme Court decision, paired with FCC guidance, allowed party committee cash to stretch further by accessing lower rates reserved for candidates.What theyre saying: "Put plainly, todays ruling makes clear that lowest unit rate is an exclusive right given to candidates and incumbent campaigns and that is the law of the land," DSCC executive director Devan Barber and DCCC executive director Julie Merz said in a joint statement."Democratic candidates strong grassroots fundraising amplifying the voice of everyday Americans remains a fundamental advantage in the midterms," they continued."This was an incorrect ruling that ignores decades of precedent," NRSC communications director Joanna Rodriguez said in a statement. "We plan on appealing and this is the first word not the last," she continued.

Darline Graham wins South Carolina GOP Senate runoff Sen. Darline Graham, President Trumps endorsed candidate, won the Republican nomination Tuesday to fill the Senate vacancy created by her brother Lindsey Grahams death, per the AP.Why it matters: The victory underscores Trumps continued sway with Republican voters and positions Graham as the odds-on favorite to win a full term in November. Graham, 62, will be heavily favored against Democrat Annie Andrews in November. Democrats have not won a U.S. Senate election in South Carolina since 1998.Driving the news: Graham and Rep. Ralph Norman finished first and second, respectively, in the Aug. 11 primary and advanced to Tuesdays runoff after neither won the majority needed to secure the nomination outright.Graham entered the race July 20, days after Gov. Henry McMaster (R) appointed her to serve temporarily in the seat held by her late brother — her first time holding elected office.Her abbreviated primary campaign benefited from Trumps endorsement, the advantages of incumbency and one of the most recognizable names in South Carolina politics.In addition to campaigning with Graham in South Carolina on Friday, MAGA Inc. made a last-minute push for her, spending more than $827,000 on phone calls and text messages ahead of Tuesdays vote, according to FEC reports.Zoom in: Grahams statement during a runoff debate that she was "not that informed on national security," in response to a question about U.S. policy toward Taiwan, fueled questions about her readiness for the job.It also highlighted the contrast with her late brother, who for decades was a Senate leader on foreign policy and national security matters. Norman posted on X: "South Carolina deserves a Senator who UNDERSTANDS Foreign Policy. Im a PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH supporter! No more forever wars!"The other side: Norman, 73, argued that Republican voters should judge candidates by their records, presenting himself as a proven conservative rather than a first-time candidate elevated by a famous name.A hard-line conservative, Norman is vice chair of the House Freedom Caucus.In June, Norman placed third in South Carolinas Republican gubernatorial primary, behind Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette and Alan Wilson, the states attorney general.Between the lines: Both Graham and Norman flooded the airwaves, spending a combined total of more than $5 million on ads during the primary runoff, according to AdImpact."Stand with President Trump. Vote Darline Graham for Senate," one pro-Graham ad stated, while another accused Norman of being a "career politician.""This election is not for sale," Norman said in one ad. "South Carolina needs a proven conservative with a record of fighting for you. You shouldnt have to guess where your next senator stands. With me, you already know."
