🇺🇸️ - California Governor Gavin Newsom announced the cancellation of all 548 death sentences in the country and replacing them with life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. This is an unprecedented step in the history of the United States in terms of its scale, as it effectively abolishes the death sentences of about a quarter of all those on death row in the United States, two months before the end of Newsom's term. The outgoing governor has stated that he opposes the death penalty on moral grounds, and the New York Times noted that this may help him gain support from liberal circles in his bid to become the Democratic Party's nominee for president in the 2028 election.
