Pres. Biden will issue the first pardons of his presidency to some lucky turkeys named Peanut Butter and Jelly.
Federation pledging that there are plenty of turkeys to gobble up during this year's celebration -- when more Americans will gather than in 2020 -- Biden stuck to tradition, sparing two turkeys from the dinner table this year.
"That turkey needs to kind of learn to sit, stay, and in a perfect world, kind of strut a little bit and look good for the cameras," Segar said.Welp worked with a small flock to try to prep them for this process in the last six weeks, with Peanut Butter and Jelly last week being deemed the turkeys with the best temperament to handle the big moment, according to Segar.
After arriving in D.C., the two turkeys spent the day ahead of the pardoning having their feathers fluffed at the nearby five-star Willard Hotel. Following Lincoln's time in office, the White House was often gifted a bird for the holidays from Horace Vose, the"turkey king" of Rhode Island, sending his top turkey to 11 presidents over four decades -- though these turkeys were already slaughtered and dressed for the president's table, Mann says.
"But the poultry industry balked because Thursday was the day of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's and those were the big turkey holidays. So they were outraged," she added.
