Gor, a longtime Republican strategist and senior adviser, has been a close confidant of Trump and played key roles in his political and post-presidency operations.
His nomination, now before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is being seen as a strong signal of Washington’s commitment to deepening its strategic partnership with New Delhi.
If confirmed by the Senate, Gor will succeed Ambassador Eric Garcetti, who stepped down earlier this year. The vacancy comes at a critical moment as India and the United States expand cooperation in defense, trade, technology, and the Indo-Pacific region.
The nomination will be taken up alongside several other ambassadorial picks this week.
