President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to reinstate and expand the federal death penalty, criticizing President Biden's recent commutation of 37 death row sentences to life imprisonment. Biden's decision, aimed at stopping federal executions for non-terrorism-related crimes, received mixed reactions, with Trump condemning it as 'abhorrent.' Trump has promised to target violent offenders, including drug dealers and human traffickers, for capital punishment upon taking office. The debate reflects deep divisions in American society regarding the death penalty, with support declining over the years.
