WASHINGTON — Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti's nomination to be ambassador to India is dangling by a thread in the Senate, with several Democrats continuing to express hesitation over the nomination.
Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer's office issued an informal "temperature check" to Democratic senators on May 6 to see where lawmakers stood on the nomination coming to the floor for a vote. Several of them indicated concerns, according to Democratic aides.
Garcetti's nomination cleared the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in January but has since stalled.
