President Biden’s response to the announcement that the conservative Rishi Sunak will be Britain’s first prime minister of Indian heritage was, “Go figure!”
The president delivered remarks at a celebration of Diwali, a Hindu holiday. He stated that Sunak’s ascension to power is a landmark event that is significant.
Biden stated at the White House, “Diwali is a reminder that each of us has the ability to dispel darkness and bring light to the world.” “It’s a choice, and every day we make that choice.” It is true in our lives and in the life of this nation, especially in the life of a democracy, whether in the United States or in India, where families are celebrating 75 years of independence, or in the United Kingdom, where Rishi Sunak has just been named prime minister.
In the Conservative Party! “As my brother would say, “go figure.”” Biden stated. ‘Pretty remarkable.’
Biden is anticipated to phone Sunak later in the week to congratulate him once King Charles III formally invites him to form a new administration.

Kamala Harris, the first African American, Indian American, and female vice president of the United States, joined Biden at the Diwali ceremony.
Biden boasted of his support from the Indian-American community in 2006, while he was seeking the Democratic nominee for the 2008 presidential election: ‘I’ve had a fantastic relationship. The main source of population growth in Delaware is the migration of Indian-Americans from India. A faint Indian accent is required in order to enter a 7-Eleven or Dunkin’ Donuts. I’m not joking.’

Sunak, the former chancellor of the exchequer, won the leadership of the Conservative Party on Monday and now faces a £40bn black hole in the public finances amid rumors he may delay the Halloween Budget, while his new Cabinet must also deal with soaring energy costs and soaring inflation that has left families struggling in a cost-of-living crisis.
