Joe Biden ran his 2020 presidential campaign on a platform that included ending the death penalty for federal inmates.

No federal inmates have been executed during Biden ’s presidency as his administration issued a moratorium on federal executions.

Now, in the final month of his presidency, Biden faces mounting pressure to clear death row of the 40 men awaiting execution.

Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden , who was convicted on three federal gun charges for lying on a firearms application.

Biden had previously said he wouldn’t pardon his son, so the move immediately drew rebuke from both sides of the aisle.

The move could be a sign that Biden ’s not as worried about public opinion as some might think.
