Biden Faces Mounting Pressure To Clear Federal Death Row and Issue More Commutations After Pardoning His Son

President Joe Biden is encountering increasing pressure to take decisive action on clemency issues following his decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, for tax and gun-related charges. Advocacy groups and some Democratic lawmakers are urging Biden to clear the federal death row and issue more commutations, highlighting the disparity between his personal clemency decision and the broader criminal justice system. Critics argue that Biden's actions towards his son reflect a personal bias, while systemic issues like mass incarceration and the death penalty remain unaddressed. There is a call for Biden to use his clemency powers more broadly to address racial disparities in sentencing, reduce prison populations, and rectify what many see as injustices within the legal system. This pressure comes at a time when criminal justice reform is a significant topic in national politics, with expectations that Biden could set a precedent for future presidential clemency actions.
