cleared a major Senate hurdle on Wednesday, making it likely that his confirmation will be confirmed later in the afternoon.
The procedural vote was a rare cliffhanger for the Senate, which typically moves on nominations with the outcome all but certain. The vote was 52-42, with seven Republicans voting for the nomination and three Democrats voting against. Sen. Sherrod Brown , Sen. Massie Hirono and Sen. Mark Kelly voted against the nomination.
Garcetti was first nominated to be ambassador to India in July, 2021, and it cleared the Senate Foreign Relations Committee six months later. Biden renominated Garcetti earlier this year, and he cleared the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in a 13-8 vote last week.
