Newsweek - Before Friday, there had ... been 34 executions in the first nine months of 2025, more than in any year over the past decade. Florida has led the nation, executing a record 13 people so far this year. And the number of executions in 2025 is set to climb as at least eight more executions are scheduled to take place before the end of the year.
The increase after years of decline comes after President Donald Trump signed an executive order on his first day back in office seeking to expand the death penalty, and as some Republican-controlled state legislatures have pushed to expand the category of crimes punishable by death and the methods used to carry out executions.
