"As soon as I take office, I will instruct the Department of Justice to vigorously pursue the death penalty to protect American families and children from brutal rapists, murderers, and monsters. We will once again become a nation of law and order," Trump stated on his social media platform, Truth Social.

According to The Guardian, the newly elected president will not be able to overturn Biden's decision regarding 37 federal inmates sentenced to death. In his statement, the current head of state emphasized that he "condemns these murderers, mourns the victims of their horrific crimes, and sympathizes with all families who have suffered incredible and irreparable loss."

Opponents of the death penalty welcomed Biden's decision, while part of the public criticized this move.
