Trump criticizes Biden's commutation of death row sentences in Christmas post

President-elect Donald Trump criticized President Joe Biden's decision to commute the sentences of 37 federal death row inmates to life in prison. Trump expressed his disapproval in a Christmas Day post, stating, "GO TO HELL!" to those inmates. Biden's commutation decision follows his moratorium on federal executions, which he imposed upon taking office. He stated he could not allow a new administration to resume executions that he halted. Trump has campaigned on expanding the death penalty, particularly for serious crimes like child trafficking and fentanyl trafficking. While Republicans will control Congress when Trump takes office, they may struggle to pass significant legislation without Democratic support.
