Biden commutes 37 death row inmate sentences

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

39% : "These commutations are consistent with the moratorium my Administration has imposed on federal executions, in cases other than terrorism and hate-motivated mass murder.
38% : "Today, I am commuting the sentences of 37 of the 40 individuals on federal death row to life sentences without the possibility of parole," Biden said in a statement released by the White House on Monday.
37% : "In his statement, Biden said that he condemns the "murderers," grieves for the "victims of their despicable acts," and aches "for all the families who have suffered unimaginable and irreparable loss.""But guided by my conscience and my experience as a public defender, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Vice President, and now President, I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level," Biden added.
