WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is deciding which turkey to pardon this year, and he's asking for the public's help.

The turkey pardoning will decide the fate of "Bread" and "Butter".

You can cast your vote on the official White House Twitter page. The poll will close 8 a.m. Tuesday.

Not sure if you're #TeamBread or #TeamButter?

Here's some information about each bird to help you make your choice:

"Bread" loves bluegrass music, ariel yoga and college basketball. Its favorite pastime is "Leaf peeping."

"Butter" loves the bagpipes, sweet potato fries, and NASCAR. Its goal in life is to reach a "Personal best in the Turkey Trot."

Bread is the smaller bird of the duo, weighing 45 pounds compared Butter's 47 pounds. However, Butter is one inch shorter than Bread.

The President will pardon the winner during the White House ceremony.

Both turkeys are set to retire to Gobblers Rest Farm in Virginia.
