Garcetti was officially nominated on Friday following months of speculation.<\/p>\n<p>The two-term mayor served as one of Biden\u2019s national campaign co-chairs. Garcetti has been caught in the cross-hairs of several City Hall scandals, including an ongoing federal investigation on corruption charges involving one of his deputy mayors.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Today, the President announced that I am his nominee to serve as U.S. Ambassador to India.

He would become the first mayor of Los Angeles to willingly leave office before the end of his term in over 100 years.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/gop-lawmakers-criticize-bidens-door-to-door-campaign\/\">GOP Lawmakers Criticize Biden\u2019s Door-To-Door Campaign<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti in Washington.
