Washington, Indian-American community leader and lawyer Hardam Tripathi has been elected as an official alternate delegate to the Republican National Convention in Wisconsin later this month, which would formally nominate former US President Donald Trump as the party's presidential candidate.

Trump, 78, is the presumptive candidate of the Republican Party for the presidential election and faces current President Joe Biden, 81, of the Democratic Party.

The Republican National Party (RNP) convention in Milwaukee from July 14 to 18 would formally nominate Trump as its candidate for the November 5 presidential election.

Tripathi, a lifelong member of the Republican Party, said, “This will be my first time serving as a National Delegate to the RNC and it is a great honor to represent Florida's 15th Congressional District in a historic election being held in these great USA. States of America.”

Tripathi is a US immigration attorney and managing attorney at Trip Law, a leading immigration law firm based in Florida.

She has helped Afghan translators who served alongside U.S. Military Service members try to obtain their Special Immigrant Visas and escape the Taliban during the withdrawal from Afghanistan under President Biden.

"Ensuring the safety of immigrants who served alongside the U.S. Armed Forces and using immigration laws and policies to bring others around the world suffering from similar humanitarian issues is one of our firm's top priorities. of lawyers," he said.

Earlier this week, eminent Indian-American physician Dr. Sampat Shivangi was elected an official delegate to the Republican National Convention for the sixth time.
