President-elect Donald Trump reacted to President Joe Biden’s commutation of the sentences of 37 of the 40 people on federal death row with befuddlement and disbelief on Tuesday, claiming the decision “makes no sense.

President Joe Biden announced Monday that he is taking 37 people off federal death row to serve out life sentences behind bars — a decision that leaves only three federal prisoners awaiting execution when President-elect Donald Trump takes office next month.

Trump said relatives of victims are angry that Biden spared the lives of some of the “worst killers in our country,” including inmates who killed police and military officers.

Biden confirmed 235 judges, edging Trump’s first-term total but falling short in appellate and Supreme Court influence, prioritizing diversity over ideology.

Mere weeks before President-elect Donald Trump, an outspoken proponent of expanding capital punishment, takes office, President Joe Biden is commuting

Biden did not commute the death sentences of Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, Charleston church killer Dylann Roof, and Pittsburgh synagogue shooter Robert Bowers. They will be the only three left on the federal execution list when Trump, a proponent of the death penalty, takes office on January 20.

The move spares the lives of people convicted in killings, including the slayings of police and military officers, people on federal land and those involved in deadly bank robberies or drug deals.

All of Biden's picks will serve lifetime appointments, meaning they will serve to protect his legacy when Trump takes office.

Donald Trump hit out Tuesday at Joe Biden for commuting the sentences of almost every American federal prisoner on death row, as the president-elect prepares to replace the Democrat in the White House.

With just weeks left in office, US President Joe Biden has commuted the sentences of 37 of 40 federal death row inmates - potentially thwarting President-elect Donald Trump's plans to expand federal executions during his upcoming administration.

The majority has now confirmed more judges under President Biden than any majority has confirmed in decades,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer declared.
