The troubled nomination has revived criticism of the president’s decision to reward political allies with plum diplomatic posts.Garcetti, a one-time presidential prospect, was a prominent Biden surrogate throughout the 2020 race, serving as national co-chair for the Biden ticket and a co-chair of the vice presidential nominating committee before the president nominated him to be ambassador to India more than 19 months ago.
“This is quite frankly the most embarrassing example of how Biden has prioritized politics over the national security interests of the U.S,” he said. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee will take up Garcetti’s nomination again on Tuesday after he failed to secure enough Senate votes during the last Congress. Biden in January renominated Garcetti despite senators refusing to commit to confirming the two-time former Democratic mayor amid allegations that he was aware of a top aide sexually harassing subordinates. Several Democrats were among the holdouts.
