Biden pardons turkeys Peach and Blossom

Peach and Blossom, the 2024 National Thanksgiving Turkeys, prior to receiving a pardon from President Biden.

"They tell me there's 2,500 people here today looking for a pardon," President Biden joked at a White House ceremony on the South Lawn. After one of the turkeys, Peach, let out a few gobbles, Biden said, "What did you say, Peach? Peach is making a last-minute plea here."

He implored the turkeys to "keep calm and gobble on," then pardoned them. "Based on your temperament and your commitment to being productive members of society," the president said, "I hereby pardon Peach and Blossom."
