President Biden pardoned two turkeys, Peach and Blossom, during a ceremony that also marks his last holiday season at the White House, emphasizing gratitude.
This year's turkeys symbolize resilience, named after Delaware's state flower. Biden expressed it has been an honor serving as president during the Thanksgiving tradition.
Biden humorously noted the turkeys' personalities, with Peach and Blossom enjoying various foods, making the event not just ceremonial but also lighthearted.
The turkey pardoning tradition dates back to Harry Truman's presidency in 1947 and became official in 1989 with President George H.W. Bush.
