Assassination of Catherine Durant

On September 27, 2017, Catherine Durant, the 68th United States secretary of state, was assassinated by an unknown sniper while on a trip to the French Alps. The assassination was orchestrated by U.S. President Claire Underwood after a previously failed attempt just over a month earlier.
Durant was publicly presumed to be dead for over a month following her previously failed assassination attempt, after which she fled the country. She was widely considered to be a primary challenger for the Democratic nomination in the 2020 presidential election against Underwood, who was historically unpopular.
