Biden chooses 20 Indian-American officials for his prospective administration with a female majority

With less than 100 hours remaining since his historic inauguration, US President-elect Joe Biden has either nominated or named at least 20 Indian Americans, including 13 women, to key positions in his administration, a new record in and of itself for this small ethnic community that It constitutes 1% of the population of the United States.

The Times of India reported on Sunday that up to 17 of these candidates or appointees will be White House officials.

It is noteworthy that the inauguration on January 20, which is the fifty-ninth inauguration at all and witnesses Biden being sworn in to become the forty-sixth president of the United States, will indeed be historic, as a woman for the first time ever, Kamala Harris, will be sworn in as vice president. .

Harris, 56, will also be the first Indian-American and African-American to be sworn in as Vice President of the United States.

This administration will be the first ever to have so many American Indians entered before the inauguration of the President.

Biden is still very far from accommodating all positions in his administration.
