Newly re-elected President Donald Trump has appointed Indian-Americans in key positions within his administration, underscoring the increasing political and cultural prominence of the Indian diaspora in the United States.
Johnnie Moore, Trump’s former spiritual advisor, described these appointments as a defining moment for Indian-American and Hindu-American communities.
In a post shared on social media, Moore said, "Usha, Tulsi, Vivek, Jay, and now Kash. The Indian-American and Hindu-American community will play a central role in the second Trump administration—truly a remarkable moment for one of America's most dynamic minority communities."

The Indian-American / Hindu American community will be at the very heart of the second Trump administration.
Quite a moment for one of America’s most vibrant minority communities.
Some of these prominent Indian-American appointments include former National Security official Kash Patel, a staunch Trump loyalist, who has been nominated to lead the FBI. Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy will co-lead the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with Elon Musk, focusing on streamlining federal operations.
Stanford professor Jay Bhattacharya, a pandemic policy advocate, will helm the National Institutes of Health, overseeing a US$47.3 billion research budget. Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, who believes in the Hindu faith, has been named Director of National Intelligence.
