Biden Pardons Turkeys Peach and Blossom from Minnesota in Final White House Ceremony
Nov 25, 2024, 04:16 PM
President Joe Biden pardoned two turkeys, Peach and Blossom, from Northfield, Minnesota, in the annual White House Thanksgiving tradition on Monday, November 25, 2024. The ceremony took place on the South Lawn, marking the 77-year-old National Thanksgiving Turkey Presentation. Biden remarked, "Based on your temperament and commitment to being productive members of society, I hereby pardon Peach and Blossom." He also encouraged Americans to "keep calm and gobble on." The turkeys, approximately 17 weeks old, were named after Delaware's state flower, symbolizing resilience. The event is significant as it marks President Biden's last time participating in the ceremony as president. "It's my last time... Let me say to you: it's been the honor of my life," Biden said. Following the pardon, Peach and Blossom will live out their days at the University of Minnesota.
