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.

    No platform whatsoever. Literally his only game plan is to antagonize every single policy the Democrats make the world a tiny bit better with.

    If Biden made a PSA about how playing Russian roulette is bad, we’d get President-elect Vance tomorrow. And given how blindly these lemmings follow, perhaps President-elect Johnson the day after that, etc.

      But I was just at my in-laws and Fox told me he has plans! So many plans! No details available, but they assured me he definitely has plans!
