Since 1976, the United States has carried out 1,682 executions, mostly in Texas, which accounts for over a third of these. Although the death penalty remains legal in 27 states, only 21 actively perform executions, with six maintaining moratoria. Public support for capital punishment has declined from 80% in 1994 to 52% in 2025, amid ongoing debates and judicial rulings restricting its application to murder cases. The federal government resumed executions in 2020 under the Trump administration but imposed a moratorium in 2021; the Biden administration later reduced federal death sentences to life imprisonment.
