Biden pardons turkeys Peanut Butter and Jelly ahead of Thanksgiving

President Biden pardoned turkeys Peanut Butter and Jelly on Friday afternoon in a ceremony at the White House. 

"Instead of getting basted, these two turkeys are getting boosted," Mr. Biden quipped. And he also apologized to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and husband Chasten, both from Indiana, since it was apparent the two turkeys are the "new Indiana power couple."

The president even managed to squeeze in an infrastructure quip: "Turkey is infrastructure. Peanut butter and Jelly are going to help build back the butterball," he said.
