President Trump is set to deliver a speech to a joint session of Congress for the first time in his second term as president. A cabinet member is selected as a “designated survivor” to maintain the presidential line of succession in case of a catastrophic event. The designated survivor has not been announced yet, but in the past, it has typically been a member of the President’s cabinet. The Secretary of the Interior and Agriculture have been chosen most frequently in the past. The designated survivor is chosen based on factors such as their department’s role in the speech. Trump has designated survivors in his previous addresses to Congress, including Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Energy, and Interior. The address is scheduled for Tuesday, March 4, with coverage starting at 9 p.m. ET by various media outlets. The concept of a designated survivor has been a topic of intrigue and mystery for many years, with its origins dating back to the Cold War era.
