"Education Secretary Miguel Cardona: Designated Survivor for Biden's SOTU"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Fox News
Education Secretary Miguel Cardona has been chosen as the "designated survivor" for President Biden's State of the Union address, a security protocol dating back to the Cold War aimed at ensuring continuity in the presidency in the event of a catastrophic event. The designated survivor must be a natural-born U.S. citizen, at least 35 years old, and have been a resident of the U.S. for the past 14 years. This year's choice follows last year's selection of former Labor Secretary Marty Walsh and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo in 2022.
