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