"Biden's Pardoning of Turkeys Liberty and Bell Marks a Thanksgiving Tradition"

President Joe Biden is set to continue the annual White House tradition of the turkey pardon, sparing Liberty and Bell from being roasted for Thanksgiving. The average cost of the Thanksgiving meal is down compared to last year, providing some relief from inflation. The turkey pardon tradition dates back to the 1940s and became the norm in 1989. Previous presidents have used the occasion to make political puns. This year's turkeys were raised in Minnesota and arrived in Washington after a 20-hour drive. After the ceremony, they will retire to the University of Minnesota.
