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.
