President Trump on Wednesday criticized California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s plans to place a moratorium on executions in the state.
“The intentional killing of another person is wrong, and as governor I will not oversee the execution of any individual,” Newsom is expected to say, according to prepared remarks published by the Associated Press. In 2016, voters narrowly approved a ballot measure to speed up executions, but there are no imminent executions scheduled in the Golden State.
And as president, Trump has called for the death penalty for nonviolent criminals, such as drug dealers.
