JOHANNESBURG – South African President Cyril Ramaphosa congratulated United States President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on their victory.
CNN, NBC News and CBS News rated the race in Biden’s favor just before 11:30 a.m. (1630 GMT) as an insurmountable lead in Pennsylvania brought the 77-year-old to the top in the state-by-state tally that the presidency decides.
On Saturday night, Ramaphosa tweeted his support for Biden and Harris, saying “We look forward to working with you and deepening our ties of friendship and cooperation.”
