Former Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti’s nomination to be ambassador to India cleared an important procedural hurdle on the Senate floor Wednesday, a strong indication that he will be confirmed to the post later in the day.
Democratic defections had mounted in the hours before the procedural vote. Several senators cited lingering questions about whether Garcetti knew or should have known about a former top aide’s alleged sexual harassment.But Garcetti’s nomination was rescued by Republican senators who broke ranks to support him, including Sens.
Along with Hirono, Democratic Sens. Sherrod Brown of Ohio and Mark Kelly of Arizona voted against advancing the nomination. While two Republicans already supported Garcetti in committee, it was uncertain until the day of the vote whether other Republicans would cross the aisle to save a Biden nominee, particularly if Democrats balked.
