In-town pool report #2 - Rose Garden and pardon ceremony attendees

It is chilly and a light drizzle has begun to fall in the Rose Garden as we await POTUS and the turkey pardon ceremony. “Hallelujah” is playing over the loudspeakers. Chairs are assembled for attendees.

Among the crowd, pool has spotted VP Vance & the Second Lady (with one of their young children), Treasury Secretary Bessent, Commerce Sec Lutnick, Secretary Hegseth, HUD Sec Turner, EPA administrator Lee Zeldin, AG Pam Bondi, Ed Secretary McMahon, FBI director Kash Patel, and Rep Jason Smith, chairman of House Ways and Means Committee.
