Indian-Americans Taking Over US: President Joe Biden

WASHINGTON: Referring to the high number of people from the community getting a place in his administration, US President Joe Biden said that Indian-Americans are taking over the country.

Biden has appointed at least 55 Indian-Americans to key leadership positions in his administration in less than 50 days of his presidency.

“Indian-of-descent Americans (sic) are taking over the country. You (Swati Mohan), my Vice President (Kamala Harris), my speechwriter (Vinay Reddy),” Biden said in a virtual interaction with NASA scientists who were involved in the historic landing of Perseverance landing at Mars.

Indian-American scientist Swati Mohan leads the guidance, navigation, and control operations of NASA’s Mars 2020 mission.

Biden, who was sworn in as the 46th president of the United States on January 20, has created history by appointing at least 55 Indian-Americans to key positions in his administration. This does not include Vice President Kamala Harris, which is an elected position, and Neera Tanden, who a day earlier withdrew her nomination from the position of Director of White House Office of Management and Budget.

The Biden administration has for the first time appointed such a large number of Indian-Americans in the first 50 days of his administration.
