WASHINGTON – Two lucky turkeys, named Chocolate and Chip, were spared their lives on Monday, but not from hearing about President Joe Biden’s favourite subject of late: the“The votes are in. They’ve been counted and verified. There’s no ballot stuffing, there’s no fowl play,” Mr Biden said at the traditional pre-Thanksgiving turkey pardon at the White House, which is never complete without a string of holiday-themed puns.
“They interacted with children to show their softer side,” Mr Biden said, as he described the turkeys’ preparation for the White House visit, which included listening to loud music in recent days to acclimate them to the noisy audience at Monday’s event.Even with his approval ratings still low and a potential strike of railroad workers on the horizon, the president seemed at ease as he engaged directly with 20kg Chocolate and 21kg Chip, both of North Carolina.
The animals were placed on a table next to Mr Biden’s lectern on Monday to receive their presidential pardons.
