For decades, capital punishment has been in decline. Under Trump, the death penalty appears to be back.
First term, Trump oversaw the most federal executions since 1896. This term, 2025 had the highest state execution total since 2009 and the sharpest rise since 1999 so far.
Trump has called to bring back the death penalty since the 80s, and now has advanced changes to streamline the process and improve the DOJ's ability to execute. We just need more, better Republicans in Congress to expand the application through legislation.
