Eric Garcetti confirmed as ambassador to India after Senate battle.

The Senate has confirmed Eric Garcetti as the US ambassador to India with a final vote of 52 to 42. Seven Republicans voted in favor of the nomination, while three Democrats voted against it. Garcetti faced pushback from some Democrats due to accusations that he ignored alleged sexual harassment and bullying by one of his former senior aides. However, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted last week to advance the nomination, and some Democrats who had been seen as key holdouts, including Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, ultimately backed Garcetti.
