Dec 24, 2024, 10:50 PM

Vowing to reinstate federal executions once he takes office in January, Trump pledged to direct the Department of Justice to 'vigorously pursue the death penalty' to protect American families and children from violent rapists, murderers, and monsters.

Biden had commuted the sentences of nearly all federal death row inmates, changing their sentences to life imprisonment without parole.
