65) In 2018, how much money could a national party give to each candidate or candidate committee, per election? A) no limit B) $33,400 C) $2,700 D) $45,400 E) $5,000

A) no limit

In 2018, national parties could give unlimited sums of money to each candidate or candidate committee, per election, for coordinated expenditures. These are expenditures made by a political party on behalf of a candidate with some degree of cooperation or consent. However, the parties are subject to limits on the amount they can spend in coordination with a candidate.

When it comes to direct contributions, rather than coordinated expenditures, different rules apply. For direct contributions, national parties were subject to limits set by the Federal Election Commission (FEC). For the 2017-2018 cycle, these limits were as follows:

National party committee to candidate committee: $5,000 per election National party committee to state, district & local party committee: $5,000 (combined limit) National party committee to any other political committee: $5,000 per year

It's important to distinguish between what is considered a "contribution" and what is considered a "coordinated expenditure," as both have different rules and limits according to FEC regulations.
