How can I block spam political Messages on my iPhone
Been getting spam political messages 15-20 times a day. It’s really affecting my quality of life. Anything that I can do to block them?

Very difficult to do, especially if you ever responded to any of the Messages. They are supposed to honor to request to stop sending the message by replying "STOP". It may also help to contact the political organization directly to remove your number from their call list. Here are the rules about political campaign Robocalls and Robotexts. More information is available using the link.
Robotexts – text messages generated through autodialing – are also considered a type of call and must comply with the same rules as robocalls.
Political text messages sent to a mobile phone using an autodialer require the called party's prior express consent. Messages sent manually can be sent without prior consent.
If you are receiving texts that you didn't ask for, report the sender by forwarding the texts to 7726 (or "SPAM").
Campaigns should also honor opt-out requests if you reply "STOP."
