  • Mr Vedant Patel

US President-elect Joe Biden has appointed Vedant Patel, a former communications aide to House of Representatives member Pramila Jayapal, as his assistant press secretary. His appointment announced in December makes him one of the three Indian Americans nominated to important positions by Biden. The others are Neera Tanden, who will be the director of the Office of Management and Budget, and Vivek Murthy, the Surgeon General, both of whom will have to be confirmed in their positions by the Senate, unlike in the case of Patel.
