Supreme Court Restores NRCC's Access To Discount Campaign Ad Rates
The per curiam stay recalls the Fourth Circuit's mandate in the case against Senators Brown and Ossoff, pending a certiorari decision.
- NRCC and NRSC sued Democrats Sherrod Brown, Jon Ossoff, Roy Cooper and Kristen McDonald Rivet.
- The order recalls and stays the Fourth Circuit's mandate in case No. 26-1785.
- Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented alone from the September 4, 2026 ruling.
Why it matters: A stay decides nothing; it just hands the richer side weeks of cheap airtime while judges deliberate.
