By MICHAEL R. BLOOD, MARY CLARE JALONICK and CHRIS MEGERIANof former Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti to become ambassador to India faced a make-or-break vote in the Senate on Wednesday amid questions about support from his own party and fallout from a sexual harassment scandal involving a former top adviser.
Democrat Garcetti’s nomination for the prominent diplomatic post has languished in the Senate for 20 months, after President Joe Biden first named him in July 2021. “I think we can find somebody that will do the job better,” said Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio.”With a break in Democratic support, it still was possible Garcetti’s nomination could be salvaged by crossover support from Republicans.
Sen. Todd Young, R-Ind., who backed Garcetti in a committee vote, said that he, too, would be voting in favor.
