Kamala Harris calls for federal moratorium on executions
Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris said Thursday that there should be a federal moratorium on executions.
The senator from California discussed the matter on National Public Radio, a day after Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom of California granted reprieves to 737 death row inmates and signed an executive order placing a moratorium on executions.
Harris was asked if there should be “a federal equivalent” to Newsom’s order.
She said, “Yes, I think that there should be.”
Asked if no one would be executed if Harris was president of the United States, she responded, “Correct, correct.”
