his skill in influencing the public perception of political candidates and
authorities.

to the State Department and his group. He also expressed thanks for the
opportunity to work with Price and expressed relief that he was not traveling
far.
Patel holds degrees from the University of Florida and the
University of California Riverside. He is qualified to serve as a temporary
spokesman due to his remarkable background in media and communications. Price's
successor has not yet been named by the State Department, but Patel's hiring is
anticipated to maintain consistency and stability in the department's
communication tactics.
Patel will be responsible for directing the department's
daily press briefings, interacting with the media, and advancing US foreign
policy goals in his capacity as the temporary spokesman. For the
Indian-American community, his nomination marks a critical turning point and
emphasizes the increasing importance of Indian Americans-in US politics and
administration.
