Biden Pardons the Last Turkeys of His Presidency
President Biden, granting clemency to a pair of turkeys in an annual White House ceremony, expressed gratitude for serving as commander in chief.

In the last four years, I’ve had the honor to continue that tradition by pardoning Peanut Butter and Jelly, Chocolate and Chip, Liberty and Bell. And today, Peach and Blossom will join the free birds of the United States of America. Based on your temperament and commitment to being productive members of society, I hereby pardon Peach and Blossom. [cheers] Let me close on a more serious note. This event marks the official start of the holiday season here in Washington. It’s also my last time to speak here as your president during this season and give thanks and gratitude. So let me say to you, it’s been the honor of my life. I’m forever grateful.
