Biden considering Mayor Eric Garcetti as ambassador to India

LOS ANGELES (CNS) — President Joe Biden is reportedly considering Mayor Eric Garcetti for an ambassadorship, possibly to India.

According to the news site Axios, which cited people close to the matter, Garcetti is one of multiple people being considered for the post.

"Today's Axios story is speculative," Garcetti's communications director, Alex Comisar, told City News Service. "We aren't going to engage in speculation. We're 100% focused on ending the COVID pandemic and passing a justice budget for the city."

Garcetti served as co-chair of Biden's campaign and said in December that he turned down an unspecified position in the administration to remain LA's mayor.
