The show’s premise is that Meyer is a former who runs a failed presidential campaign before being asked to be the winning candidate’s vice president. As vice president, her world is kept in balance by her assistants: Amy Brookheimer () is the vice president’s , while Gary Walsh () is Meyer’s grovelling personal aide. Selina also hires Dan Egan (), who threatens Amy’s place in the staff, and Mike McLintock (), a press spokesman. Meyer has no significant other, and requires that her daughter Catherine, from a past marriage, make appointments to see her.
