Senate panel advances Garcetti's nomination to be ambassador to India

Senate panel advances Garcetti's nomination to be ambassador to India

WASHINGTON -- The Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted Wednesday to advance former Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti's nomination to be ambassador to India. Garcetti's nomination will now go to the full Senate, although it's unclear when Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., will schedule a floor vote -- and whether Garcetti has enough votes to be confirmed. "I am honored to be President Biden's nominee for this important post, and pleased that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee has once again approved my nomination on a bipartisan vote," Garcetti said in a statement. Most Republicans on the Foreign Relations panel opposed Garcetti's nomination Wednesday, a contrast to last year, when Garcetti and other nominations sailed through without any stated objections. Two Republicans voted in favor of Garcetti on Wednesday, which bodes well for his final confirmation, according to Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., who chairs the committee. "I would think that he would find a pathway forward on the floor to be supported," Menendez said. "It's just a question of getting him time on the floor. Nominations take up time." Wednesday's business meeting was postponed more than a week after Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., placed a hold on the nominations of Garcetti and others. In a statement announcing his hold, Rubio had accused Garcetti of ignoring "credible sexual assault accusations in his prior office" and called other nominations before the committee "absurd." Garcetti's nomination has been dogged by accusations that he either knew or should have known that his former senior adviser, Rick Jacobs, was allegedly sexually harassing colleagues and making racist comments. Jacobs has denied the allegations, and Garcetti testified at his confirmation hearing in December 2021 that he "never witnessed, nor was it brought to my attention, the behavior that's been alleged." ...continued
