Biden Campaign Won’t Say If He Still Backs Death Penalty

Politico: “Biden’s support for the death penalty was consistent throughout his 30-plus years in the Senate. Whether that stand holds will be another case study of how he reconciles long-held beliefs with the leftward march of his party. His record is full of tough-on-crime bills and statements that were in line with Bill Clinton-style centrism, but now look out of step.”

“Most of Biden’s Democratic opponents support abolishing—or at least halting—capital punishment.”
