Who was chosen as the designated survivor for Joe Biden's State of the Union Address last week? Pete Buttigieg Marty Walsh Janet Yellen James Clyburn ******** Answer: Every year, the administration appoints a designated survivor, an individual that is chosen to stay away from events such as State of the Union address and the presidential inauguration. Labor Secretary Marty Walsh served as designated survivor during President Joe Biden’s second State of the Union address last week. The practice of choosing a designated survivor was designed to maintain the line of presidential succession in the rare event that disaster strikes. The role was the focus of the 2016 television series Designated Survivor, in which Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Tom Kirkman (Kiefer Sutherland) is sworn in as president following a terrorist attack that destroys the US Capitol.
