President Joe Biden is commuting the sentences of 37 people on death row, which means those individuals will have their sentences changed from execution to life without parole, the White House said in a press release on Monday.

Joe Biden believes the death penalty "must stop" at the federal level, except for those guilty of terrorism and mass murder motivated by hate, the White House said.

President-elect Donald Trump says he'll “vigorously pursue” capital punishment after President Joe Biden commuted the sentences of most people on federal death row partly to stop Trump from pushing forward their executions.
