Congressional Caucus on India has a new Republican co-chair

Democratic US lawmaker Ro Khanna has announced that Republican colleague Rich McCormick will join him as the co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional Caucus on India, replacing Mike Walz, who is now the National Security Adviser to President Donald Trump. Representatives Andy Barr and Marc Veasey will continue serving as vice co-chairs and Brad Sherman, who formerly served as chair, will continue to serve as chair emeritus.

The India caucus is committed to strengthening the relationship between the U.S. and India. It grew to a record number of 145



members in the previous 118th Congress, with the joining of 35 new members. Khanna said a strong partnership with India is critical for their economy and national security. 

He said it is an honour to continue serving as co-chair of the India Caucus and to welcome McCormick as the caucus’s new co-chair. Representative McCormick said, he had the great privilege of serving many hard-working Indian Americans in his district and will continue to strengthen the bonds between the two nations.
