House Dems sue FEC accusing GOP of exploiting campaign loophole

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the House Democrats campaign arm, filed its lawsuit against the FEC on Thursday, alleging Republicans are using a campaign finance loophole in their television ads.

The suit comes after Senate Democrats previously accused Republicans of using the tactic and appealed to the FEC to rule if such a strategy is allowed. The commission voted 3-3 along party lines last week, thus allowing the GOP to continue with its ads.  Haley Chi-Sing is a Writer for Fox News Digital. You can reach her at @haleychising on X.

"Federal law is clear that party committee expenditures coordinated with candidates are subject to limits. Republican candidates are so cash strapped that they’re now brazenly exploiting a self-created loophole to spend party committee money on candidate ads, well in excess of applicable limits, at the lowest unit charge," Rachel L. Jacobs, general counsel for the DCCC, told Fox News Digital in a statement.
