Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : DOJ accordingly carried out 13 executions -- all by lethal injection administered at the Bureau of Prisons facility in Terre Haute, Indiana -- from July 2020 through January 2021, the last one just four days before the end of Trump's term.
37% : Under Trump, DOJ appealed to the Supreme Court, seeking to reinstate the death penalty.
29% : But then, shockingly, with one stroke, Biden spared nearly everyone on federal death row -- 37 of the 40 inmates, everybody but Tsarnaev, the Pittsburgh synagogue shooter, and a person who murdered nine black parishioners at a South Carolina church.
25% : While Trump has vowed to expand application of the federal death penalty when he retakes office, there's no way for a president to reverse a prior grant of clemency.
