Daily Beast - President Joe Biden has spared almost every death row prisoner in the country to sabotage Donald Trump’s plans to launch a flurry of federal executions when he returns to the White House. Biden announced that he is commuting the sentences of 37 murderers less than a month before Trump is back in the Oval Office. The reprieved men will now serve life in prison without parole. Only three convicts who carried out mass killings will remain on death row.
During his first term, Trump restarted federal executions after a 20-year freeze. Thirteen people were put to death, all in the final six months of his presidency. In the 2024 presidential election campaign, Trump said he wanted to expand capital punishment from murderers to child abusers, human traffickers, and drug dealers.
