Le Monde: After Biden commutes most of federal death row, Trump vows to pursue executions
President-elect Donald Trump criticized President Biden's decision to commute the sentences of 37 federal death row inmates to life without parole, arguing it disrespects the victims' families. Trump vowed to pursue capital punishment vigorously upon taking office, particularly for violent offenders.
Experts suggest Trump's stance may be more rhetorical than actionable, given the complexities of federal and state law regarding the death penalty. While public support for capital punishment has declined, it remains a contentious issue in American politics.
