    After a long, 20-month road from nomination to Senate confirmation, Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday, March 24, swore in former LA Mayor Eric Garcetti as the U.S. ambassador to India.

    While Garcetti’s daughter Maya held a heavy and historic Hebrew Bible from the Library of Congress, Harris administered the oath in her ceremonial office in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in the White House complex in Washington, D.C.

    Garcetti’s wife, Amy Wakeland, and Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff were also present at the swearing-in ceremony.
