President Donald Trump will pardon one of two turkeys from South Dakota at the White House on Tuesday, continuing the annual Thanksgiving tradition.
The turkeys are named “Peas” and “Carrots” — one of which will be chosen as the official White House turkey based on online voting from the public.
The ceremony is scheduled to begin at 1:05 p.m. Eastern. At that time, a video will appear above.

After the pardoning, Peas and Carrots will live at Virginia Tech’s “Gobblers Rest” exhibit.
