Eric Garcetti Confirmed as Ambassador to India After Controversial Nomination Process
TL;DR
The Senate has confirmed Eric Garcetti, former mayor of Los Angeles, as the US ambassador to India, ending a two-year saga that left a top diplomatic post vacant amid allegations that he mishandled workplace misconduct and sexual harassment. Despite concerns among some Democrats about claims that Garcetti condoned sexual harassment by an aide, several Republicans supported him, saving his confirmation from collapse.
