The Supreme Court’s 2025-26 term, which runs through early July, has already yielded blockbuster decisions affecting the power of the presidency and federal voting protections. According to a Wall Street Journal summary of the term’s major cases, the court dealt blows to President Trump’s signature trade policy and the Voting Rights Act.
The term has been filled with politically charged disputes testing the president’s authority, LGBTQ rights and federal election laws, the Journal reported. The justices have released several high-profile rulings, with dozens more expected in the coming weeks before the court recesses for its summer break.
The cases addressed by the court this term are among the most closely watched in recent years, with implications for the 2026 midterm elections and beyond.
