The judge pointed out that the Constitution authorizes Congress and the states, and not the president, to regulate federal elections, and Vance said her ruling was a substantial bulwark against Trump's attempts to consolidate power.


The Judge’s Ruling Against Trump, as described by
Joyce Vance….:


"A decision like this should be a foregone conclusion at the end of this case," Vance wrote. "No president should try to usurp the power to control elections, let alone be able to do so. The executive order and the lawsuits challenging it underscore just how off the rails Trump is. Every day, part of the spectacle of Trump is his assumption of the role of an autocrat at the expense of the American presidency. And the risk is that it all becomes somehow normalized."

1. The post can be confusing.

The reference to Vance in the excerpt quoted in the OP is not a reference to the VP, J. D. Vance, but to Joyce Vance. That will be clear only if you click on the first link.
