64% : During his first term, Trump presided over an unprecedented number of federal executions, carried out during the height of the pandemic.
26% : Biden had said on the campaign trail in 2020 that he wanted to end the death penalty but he never did, and now, with Trump coming back into office, it's likely executions will resume.
22% : US president under pressure to pardon huge numbers of people, including those on death row, before Trump takes overPresident Joe Biden is commuting the sentences of roughly 1,500 people who were released from prison and placed on home confinement during the coronavirus pandemic and is pardoning 39 Americans convicted of nonviolent crimes.
17% : More pardons are coming before Biden leaves office on 20 January, but it's not clear whether he will take action to guard against possible prosecution by Trump, an untested use of the power.
