Eric Garcetti confirmed as U.S. ambassador to India after long battle.
TL;DR Summary
The Senate has confirmed Eric Garcetti, former Los Angeles mayor, as the next U.S. ambassador to India in a 52-42 vote. The nomination had been delayed due to concerns about how Garcetti handled sexual misconduct claims against a former aide while he was mayor. The delay in sending a permanent ambassador to India has vexed many lawmakers in both parties, considering the emphasis the Biden administration has put on the country as a strategic and geopolitical partner, including as a bulwark against China.
