President Joe Biden still wants former Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti to serve as his ambassador to India.
He renominated Garcetti as the new congressional session began Jan. 3. Garcetti was originally nominated several months after Biden took office, but he never received a vote of the full Senate. He’s faced accusations of turning a blind eye to misconduct by a top aide in his mayor’s office. Garcetti has repeatedly denied being aware of any inappropriate behavior.
