It’s not just a plot in an American TV show. Last night, before the political fanfare, Trump’s Agriculture minister Sonny Purdue was named ‘designated survivor’ - the politician chosen to become president, if a doomsday scenario plays out during the State of the Union at the US Capitol.

Guest: Former Agriculture Minister Dan Glickman - who was chosen as designated survivor when Bill Clinton delivered his State of the Union address in 1997.
