LOS ANGELES—The Senate Foreign Relations Committee March 8 approved former Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti’s nomination to be U.S. ambassador to India, sending the issue to the full Senate.

It was unclear when—or if—the full Senate will consider the nomination, which has been stalled over the past year due to lingering allegations that Garcetti ignored accusations of assault and sexual harassment against a former top aide.
