WATCH LIVE: Biden Presides Over 77th Annual National Thanksgiving Turkey Pardon

President Joe Biden will preside over the annual tradition of pardoning the national Thanksgiving turkey on Monday morning.

The event is scheduled to begin at 11:00 a.m. EST. Watch live in the player above.

The two turkeys this year, “Peach” and “Blossom,” are from Minnesota and will be the last turkeys pardoned before Biden leaves office.

According to The White House Historical SocietyPresidents have been accepting turkeys since the 1870s, when a Rhode Island poultry supplier began shipping them to the White House. The official tradition of presenting a turkey from the poultry industry began decades later under President Harry Truman, but pardons were “sporadic” for years. Sending turkeys back to farms became an annual tradition after 1981.
