(GoRealNewsNow.com) – In a powerful new declaration, Donald Trump has stated that “we will be a nation of law and order again,” as he blasted Joe Biden’s commutations of death row inmates’ sentences amidst concerns about rising violent crime.

Trump’s resolve seeks to appeal to voters prioritizing safety and firm justice.
Donald Trump condemned Joe Biden for commuting the sentences of nearly all federal prisoners on death row, calling the decision incomprehensible and devastating to victims’ families.
Biden commuted the sentences of 37 out of 40 federal inmates awaiting execution to life without parole.
Trump’s reaction reflects the deep divide over the death penalty in America.
Biden’s clemency decisions are irreversible, yet Trump’s administration could seek the death penalty in future cases.
Legal experts suggest Trump’s plans to expand the federal death penalty would require congressional support and face constitutional challenges.
This battle emphasizes the start contrast between Biden’s leniency and Trump’s tough-on-crime stance.
Biden’s commutations included individuals convicted of heinous crimes like murder during bank robberies and killing a prison guard.
Trump’s campaign remains strong on the death penalty, particularly for drug dealers and those involved in human trafficking, The New York Post notes in a report.
These positions highlight their different approaches in seeking justice and prevention of future crimes.
“Joe Biden just commuted the Death Sentence on 37 of the worst killers in our Country. When you hear the acts of each, you won’t believe that he did this. Makes no sense. Relatives and friends are further devastated. They can’t believe this is happening!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Only three federal inmates remain on death row: Robert Bowers, Dylann Roof, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
Federal executions were rare before Trump’s first term, but they resumed in 2019 under Attorney General William Barr.
During 2020, the federal government executed 10 individuals, the highest number since 1896.
President-elect Trump pledged to direct the Department of Justice to vigorously pursue the death penalty.
“As soon as I am inaugurated, I will direct the Justice Department to vigorously pursue the death penalty to protect American families and children from violent rapists, murderers, and monsters,” said Trump.
This approach underscores his dedication to law and order, appealing to citizens concerned by leniency in criminal justice.
While Biden’s decision was influenced by numerous appeals for a fair justice system, Trump’s renewed push for the death penalty aims to redefine justice with a more traditional approach.
