WASHINGTON – Two turkeys from South Dakota are expected to receive presidential pardons Tuesday, as President Donald Trump participates in the White House Thanksgiving tradition.

After the turkeys are pardoned, they will reportedly be taken to Virginia Tech’s Gobbler’s Rest. Watch a livestream of the turkey pardoning below.
