Biden's Turkey Pardon Tradition Faces Criticism Amid Clemency Calls

President Joe Biden granted clemency to two turkeys, Peach and Blossom, during the annual White House turkey pardon ceremony, marking the start of the holiday season. The event, held on the South Lawn, was Biden's last turkey pardon as president. The turkeys, hatched in Minnesota, will retire to Farmamerica as poultry ambassadors. Biden also reflected on his public service and expressed gratitude, emphasizing the importance of family and community. The president and first lady plan to spend Thanksgiving with family in Nantucket after a 'friendsgiving' dinner with troops.
