What is designated survivor konusu?

Designated Survivor is a political thriller television series that revolves around the story of a low-level Cabinet member who becomes the President of the United States after an unprecedented attack on the Capitol during the State of the Union address. Tom Kirkman, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, was the only cabinet member left alive and was the designated survivor during the attack.
