华盛顿4月27日路透电 —— 白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特周一表示，在一名枪手试图在白宫记者协会晚宴上袭击总统唐纳德·特朗普及政府官员后，美国官员曾在该晚宴举办前讨论过指定幸存者以及继任顺位问题。
周六的枪击事件打乱了这场华盛顿社交日程中的重磅活动，参会嘉宾纷纷躲到桌子下方，执法人员也迅速将高级官员带离会场。原定当晚稍后发表讲话的特朗普在枪声响起后被安保人员紧急带离舞台。

除特朗普外，副总统J·D·万斯、众议院议长迈克·约翰逊、美国国务卿马可·卢比奥、财政部长斯科特·贝森特以及国防部长皮特·赫格塞思均出席了晚宴，上述人员均位列继任顺位之中。
唯一的例外是爱荷华州联邦共和党参议员查克·格拉斯利，他正式担任参议院临时议长——这一职位同样位列继任顺位，由参议院多数党最高级议员、资历最深的参议员担任。格拉斯利并未出席本次晚宴。
这场正装晚宴上的混乱事件引发了外界对美国高级官员安全的担忧，当时众多官员聚集在酒店宽敞的宴会厅内，同时也引发了人们质疑白宫是否已确定指定幸存者人选。

莱维特周一在白宫新闻发布会上对记者表示，相关议题确实在晚宴前已被讨论过。
“白宫记者协会晚宴前确实开展了相关对话，但内阁中有数位继任顺位成员因各类个人原因并未出席。因此我们无需指定一名幸存者，因为已有多名成员不在现场。”莱维特说道。
指定幸存者指的是总统内阁成员中被专门挑选出来不参加国情咨文演讲等重大活动的人员，他们会被安排至一处保密地点，以防总统及其他高级官员遭遇灾难性事件时，确保政府得以延续运作。

WASHINGTON, April 27 (Reuters) – U.S. officials discussed a designated survivor and the line of succession prior to the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Monday, after a gunman tried to attack President Donald Trump and administration officials at the event.
The shooting on Saturday rattled the press dinner, a prominent event on Washington’s social calendar, sending attendees scrambling under tables and prompting law enforcement to whisk senior officials out of the room. Trump, who was set to deliver remarks later in the evening, was rushed off the stage by security personnel after shots were fired.

Alongside Trump, Vice President JD Vance, House Speaker Mike Johnson, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth – all of whom are in the line of succession – were present at the dinner.
One exception was Republican U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, who is officially the president pro tempore of the Senate — a position also in the line of succession and filled by the highest-ranking senator and the most senior member of the majority party. Grassley did not attend the dinner.
The chaotic events at the black-tie gala, which fueled concerns about the security of top U.S. officials, many of whom were gathered in the hotel’s expansive ballroom, raised questions about whether a designated survivor had been identified.

Speaking to reporters at a White House briefing on Monday, Leavitt said the topic had been discussed prior to the dinner.
“Those conversations ahead of the WHCA dinner did take place, but there were several members of the Cabinet in the line of succession who did not attend for various personal reasons. So designating one survivor was not necessary as we have several members who were not there already,” Leavitt said.
The term designated survivor refers to a member of the president’s Cabinet specifically identified to skip a major event, such as the State of the Union address, and stay at an undisclosed location to ensure continuity of the government if a catastrophe kills the president and other high-ranking officials.
