Election 2020: Live Results And Analysis

Last post just now liveblog_promo_arrow

When Trump says his administration is trying to punish criminals to the fullest extent possible, he's not joking. Under Trump, the federal government has resumed the federal death penalty after a long hiatus. Four people on federal death row have been executed so far this year, including a man who was executed last night. Definitely a contrast with all of the talk earlier about Trump's commitment to criminal justice reform -- and an example of the way he's trying to thread the needle between being seen as a compassionate leader who gives second chances, and the president of law and order.
