Education Secretary Miguel Cardona is 2024’s designated survivor.
On Thursday, Cardona was taken to an undisclosed location, away from the Capitol, during President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address.
Having a designated survivor has been a tradition since 1981.
Every year a top government official is chosen to act as the designated survivor. If a catastrophic event was to occur during the address, and the officials next in line to take the presidency were unable to fill the position, the designated survivor would become president.
Currently, Cardona is fifteenth in the presidential line of succession. He first became the secretary of education in March 2021.
There is no protocol as to who is chosen to be the designated survivor. In 2022 Biden chose Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, while in 2021, he chose Labor Secretary Marty Walsh.
