Biden pardons National Thanksgiving Turkey: Watch live

In a nod to swing state Pennsylvania, turkeys Liberty and Bell will appear at the White House’s annual turkey pardoning ceremony Monday morning, continuing a decades-long tradition, as The Hill reported.

Liberty and Bell made their debut Sunday at a news conference with the National Turkey Federation at the Willard InterContinental Hotel in Washington, D.C. The lucky birds hail from Willmar, Minn., and were hatched as part of the “Presidential Flock” back in July.

The annual “pardoning” of White House turkeys officially began 76 years ago in 1947 under former President Truman, according to the White House. Many, however, have said former President Lincoln’s clemency to a turkey in 1863 was the origin of the pardoning ceremony, though the White House said this is “likely apocryphal.”

Monday morning’s event is scheduled for 11:15 a.m. EST.
