Joe Biden pardoned two turkeys ahead of Thanksgiving at the White House, on his 81st birthday. During the ceremony, he made some jokes referencing his age. Biden touched on the tradition dating back to Harry Truman in 1947 saying he was "too young" to attend. He also mistakenly referred to Taylor Swift as Britney Spears. President Biden faces many serious challenges as he prepares for re-election such as the wars in Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas conflict, and conflicts at the US-Mexico border.
