But at the same time, the Republican National Committee came into this year with about $100 million more in cash on hand than, say, the Democratic National Committee.

What is the mood like for, as best you can tell as a Democratic strategist, for Republicans heading into the midterms?

Is there anything different about the way that money is being spent in the midterms so far, particularly in the primary races we've seen up to this point?

But I mean, what happened?

It's not like super PACs are a new thing.

They've been able to spend in this way for years now.

Why are they getting so deeply invested in primaries now?

All right, we are going to take a quick break, but when we come back, we're going to be talking more about money and politics this midterm season with Tim Lim.

All right.

We are back with political strategist Tim Lim.

There is a Supreme Court decision coming down the pipeline that honestly I hadn't even heard about until prepping for this conversation.

But it could seriously shake up the world of campaign finance.

It's called the National Republican Senatorial Committee versus the Federal Election Commission.

I know you know this case well.

Can you break down the basics?

So basically, it would allow these big national parties when working with campaigns to get cheaper ad buys and to spend more money on a race that they deem as important.

You think this is a good thing or a bad thing?

So what does all of this mean for how the campaigns may look, or at least what voters see is going to look different this cycle compared to maybe primaries of the past?

Anything else that you think regular folks should be watching for?

Like, I know people really probably don't even want to pay attention to politics and campaigns this early in the cycle.
