President Joe Biden is participating in his first presidential turkey pardon on Friday, a time-honored White House tradition ahead of Thanksgiving.
The two turkeys selected this year, Peanut Butter and Jelly, are expected to make their appearance in the White House Rose Garden Friday afternoon to vie for the pardon. However, both birds are expected to be spared, according to the National Turkey Federation.
Following the ceremony, they will retire to their home state at Purdue University's Animal Sciences Education and Research Farm.
In the days and weeks leading up Hunter Biden’s trial on felony gun charges, President Joe Biden made little attempt to distance himself from his son. Instead, Hunter Biden was seen at the White House and in Delaware at his father’s side amid what the president’s allies acknowledge is a difficult moment for both men.
