National Republican Senatorial Committee v. Federal Election Comm’n · ¶22

The Court need not speculate about Vice President Vance’s future runs for office, however, because the Vice President still maintains an active “Statement of Candidacy” on file with the FEC indicating his intent to run for Senate in 2028, as well as a principal campaign committee (JD Vance for Senate) that has raised money for a Senate race. The statement of candidacy and the extant campaign committee cannot be ignored for justiciability purposes, and they establish that the case is not moot.
