More than 65 members of Congress have asked Biden to use his clemency power to “address long-standing injustices in our legal system.”

President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, on Monday opened their final holiday season at the White House with the annual turkey pardons and Christmas

It was a festive day at the White House as President Joe Biden pardoned turkeys for Thanksgiving and First Lady Jill Biden received the White House Christmas Tree.

Peach and Blossom received a formal pardon from the holiday table and will now reside at Farmamerica, Minnesota’s Center for Agricultural Interpretation, in Waseca, Minnesota. This year’s presentation marked the 77th year of this time-honored American tradition dating back to 1947.

The lighthearted ceremony, where aides and Cabinet members are forced to laugh at the president’s scripted dad jokes, comes as a concerted push for Biden to grant real-life clemency ramps up, with just 55 days before he leaves office.

President Biden said the Thanksgiving turkey pardoning at the White House Monday is "my last time to speak here as your president during the season."

While the tradition of the official turkey presentation began in 1947 when President Harry Truman was president, they were frequently gobbled up.

U.S. President Joe Biden pardoned Peach and Blossom, two white-plumed turkeys, on Monday, sparing them from Thanksgiving dinner tables, an annual tradition that also marked the start of the Democrat's last holiday season at the White House.
