The death penalty is almost rarely enforced upon those who have been convicted, but as Donald Trump recently sped through executions as one of his final acts as president, many have now turned to president-elect Joe Biden to do something about this. Progressives and activists are now calling for Biden to put an end to the death penalty.
Activists and lawmakers among the progressive faction of the Democratic party are now urging Biden more than ever to put an end to the death penalty once he is sworn into office on January 20. For the first time in 20 years, it was with the Trump administration where the death penalty was implemented this year, with some of the executions expected to take place days before Biden is to be inaugurated. The president-elect opposes the death penalty.
