The Trump administration just won again at the U.S. Supreme Court.

The court handed the Trump administration and Republican campaign organizations a legal victory Thursday, temporarily blocking a lower court order that threatened to disrupt discounted political advertising rates just weeks before the November midterm elections.

Chief Justice John Roberts issued an emergency administrative stay preventing the Federal Communications Commission from being forced to immediately resolve a legal challenge brought by four Democratic congressional candidates.

The decision preserves, for now, an FCC policy allowing political party committees and certain joint fundraising organizations to purchase television and radio advertising at discounted rates traditionally available to individual candidates.

The dispute carries significant financial implications as Republicans and Democrats compete for control of Congress in the November 3 elections.
