Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : Five people were executed under Trump between his election defeat and Biden's inauguration.
50% : Quicker and more prolific executions are hallmarks of authoritarian regimes such as China, whose expedited executions Trump praised.
39% : He campaigned on a promise to stop federal executions and urged states to do the same.
30% : Around the globe, only China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Egypt put more people to death each year than the United States, when state as well as federal executions are tabulated (totals are unknown in North Korea, Vietnam, Syria, and Afghanistan).
30% : In the U.S., it's time for Biden to keep his promise to end the federal death penalty and align the U.S. with nations that respect law, justice and human life by doing away with the archaic cruelty of death sentences and executions.
24% : Biden's attorney general, Merrick Garland, temporarily suspended executions (as opposed to death sentences) pending "a series of reviews" and withdrew capital charges against more than two dozen defendants.
