  "summary": "The Supreme Court granted an emergency appeal from Republicans on Friday, clearing a legal roadblock to political parties receiving cheaper TV ad time before the midterm elections. The justices halted a lower-court ruling in favor of Democratic candidates who argued that cheaper broadcast ads should be limited to candidates. This decision, which comes ahead of the pivotal November contests, was supported by the Trump administration and could boost the GOP's edge due to the national party's sizable cash advantage.",
