Summary
Trump vowed to direct the DOJ to “vigorously” pursue the death penalty for violent offenders after Joe Biden commuted the sentences of 37 federal death row inmates.
Biden’s decision, aimed at halting federal executions, drew mixed reactions: victims’ families expressed both support and anger, while death penalty opponents urged Biden to extend clemency further.
Trump criticized the commutations as undermining justice and pledged a return to “Law and Order” during his presidency, reigniting debate over capital punishment.
