A Senate committee advances Eric Garcetti's nomination to be Ambassador to India after being held up for nearly two years, partly due to questions over his handling of sexual harassment claims against an aide while he was Los Angeles mayor.
The vote on the former Los Angeles mayor was 13 to 8, with Democrats voting in his favor and winning over two Republicans: Sen. Todd Young of Indiana and Sen. Bill Hagerty of Tennessee.
The vote is a positive sign for Garcetti, whose nomination has been held up since it was made in July 2021, in partabout his handling of sexual harassment claims against an aide while he was mayor. Garcetti has denied any wrongdoing. It is not clear when the full Senate will vote on his nomination; Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Tuesday he hoped to bring it up"soon." Garcetti needs a simple majority to win confirmation.
