最高法院周二作出裁决，放宽竞选财务法规，允许政党委员会与候选人进行协调，这对共和党而言是利好消息，却可能加剧民主党在筹款方面的困境。
最高法院此举实质上进一步扩大了共和党相对于民主党近1.5亿美元的委员会筹款资金优势，为共和党在可能难度颇高的中期选举中提供了又一大笔可用资金。
两者间的差距最为悬殊的当属共和党全国委员会与民主党全国委员会：共和党全国委员会在5月底拥有1.25亿美元库存现金，而民主党全国委员会当月月底则背负300万美元债务。
三大民主党委员会的负责人周二对该裁决表示哀叹，称其是“亿万富翁捐赠者和特殊利益集团的胜利”。共和党人则表示，他们已准备好在中期选举中利用这一裁决为自己谋利。
根据此前的规则，政党委员会为候选人提供支持的行为受到严格限制。但新指南很可能彻底改变委员会向电视广告和竞选活动注入资金的方式。
“几乎每位共和党候选人都能继承到比民主党候选人丰厚得多的‘信托基金’，”长期供职于民主党的政治操盘手杰西·弗格森在裁决公布前曾表示。

Why the Supreme Court’s ruling could deepen Democrats’ fundraising woes

The Supreme Court’s decision on Tuesday to loosen campaign finance laws by allowing party committees to coordinate with candidates is a boon for Republicans and threatens to deepen Democratic fundraising woes.
The court essentially supercharged Republicans’ almost $150 million committee fundraising cash advantage relative to Democrats, giving Republicans another large pot of money to use in what could be a challenging midterm election.
The most dramatic divide is between the Republican National Committee, which ended May with $125 million in the bank, and the Democratic National Committee, which ended the month $3 million in debt.
The heads of the three major Democratic committees lamented the decision Tuesday, labeling it “a win for billionaire donors and special interests.” Republicans said they were ready to use the ruling to their advantage in the midterms.
Under earlier rules, there were strict limits on what party committees could do for candidates. But these new guidelines are likely to upend how committees funnel money into TV ads and campaigns.
“Every Republican campaign essentially inherits a much bigger trust fund than any of the Democrats inherit,” Jesse Ferguson, a longtime Democratic operative, said ahead of the ruling.
