President-elect Donald Trump reacted to President Joe Biden's commutation of the sentences of 37 of the 40 people on federal death row with befuddlement and disbelief on Tuesday, claiming the decision "makes no sense.
The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's frustration with President Joe Biden's administration for halting his plans to resume federal executions. Trump had overseen a significant increase in federal executions towards the end of his term, with 13 executions carried out in his last six months in office. Biden, however, paused these executions to review the policies and procedures around capital punishment. Trump criticized this move, arguing that it makes "no sense" to stop executions, especially in light of rising crime rates, which he attributes to Biden's policies. Trump's comments reflect his ongoing criticism of Biden's approach to law enforcement and criminal justice, suggesting that Biden's decisions are weakening the country's stance on crime.
