Eric Garcetti confirmed as US ambassador to India, strengthening diplomatic ties.

The US Senate has confirmed Eric Garcetti, former mayor of Los Angeles, as the next US ambassador to India, filling a vacancy that lasted for 26 months, the longest in the history of US-Indian relations. India is seen as a key partner for the US in Asia, but the two countries have their differences, including India's ties with Russia. Garcetti's nomination was held up due to questions about his knowledge of sexual harassment allegations against one of his former advisors.

Eric Garcetti appointed as US Ambassador to India, strengthening ties.

Former Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has been confirmed as the next U.S. ambassador to India after a nearly two-year process. President Biden's nomination of Garcetti was initially stalled due to concerns about a former top aide's alleged sexual harassment of colleagues. However, Biden's loyalty to Garcetti and the importance of the ambassadorship to U.S.-India relations ultimately led to his confirmation, with seven Republicans joining Democrats in approving him for the post. Garcetti's close relationship with Biden is seen as a benefit to the U.S. relationship with India.

Eric Garcetti Overcomes Obstacles to Become Ambassador to India

Eric Garcetti, former Los Angeles mayor, was confirmed as ambassador to India after a 614-day nomination process. Garcetti's nomination was at risk due to accusations that he knew about sexual harassment allegations against a top aide. He spent months fighting to clear his name and enlisted the help of lobbyists, staffers, and allies to secure Senate confirmation. The vote was seen as a fight for his reputation and political viability. Garcetti maintained his lack of knowledge about the allegations and suggested that his detractors used the controversy to humiliate him.

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.

Eric Garcetti confirmed as U.S. ambassador to India after long battle.

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.

Eric Garcetti's ambassadorial bid in jeopardy amidst scandal and opposition.

The Senate is set to vote on Wednesday on the confirmation of Eric Garcetti as the US ambassador to India, nearly two years after he was nominated by President Joe Biden. Garcetti's nomination was stalled due to allegations of mishandling harassment and assault accusations against his former top aide in California. While his Senate backers remain confident, some Democrats predict a tight vote on the Senate floor, and his fate could rest with the Senate GOP. If he clears a procedural hurdle, he's on track to be confirmed by the end of the day.
