President Joe Biden plans to re-nominate former Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti as ambassador to India.
, it was reported Tuesday, giving new life to a nomination that stalled over accusations that Garcetti ignored sexual assault and harassment allegations against a former top aide.
Garcetti's Senate confirmation process for the ambassador post stalled over questions about the ex-mayor's knowledge of alleged harassment by Rick Jacobs, a former senior adviser. Garcetti was originally nominated by Biden to be the U.S. ambassador to India on July 9, 2021. The White House blasted the report, saying in a statement, "This partisan report was a hit job from the beginning, and many of the claims have already been conclusively debunked by more serious independent reports. The president has confidence in Mayor Garcetti and believes he will be an excellent representative in India at a critical moment and calls for the Senate to swiftly confirm him.
