Incoming House Democrat Cori Bush is calling on president-elect Joe Biden to offer clemency to those on death row end the death penalty.

Ms Bush, representative-elect for Missouri's 1st congressional district, urged Mr Biden to grant clemency to all 52 prisoners currently on death row in the US.

Her comments come as the outgoing Trump administration presses ahead with a spate of federal executions despite a surge of coronavirus cases in prisons.

Writing in a piece published by Time magazine on Monday, Ms Bush asked the incoming president to consider ending the federal government's "legal torture" of inmates when he assumes office.
