Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton congratulated Biden and said his election was a "repudiation of Trump".

"As Vice President, Joe Biden was a close friend of New Zealand and visited here in 2016, the most senior USA politician to do so since President Bill Clinton attended APEC in 1999".

Pelosi was one of the first to declare the presidential race for Biden, congratulating him during a news conference yesterday.

"A record-shattering 75 million Americans cast their ballots to elect Joe Biden President of the United States - a historic victory that has handed Democrats a mandate for action", Pelosi said.

People celebrate at Times Square in NY after Joe Biden was declared victor of the 2020 presidential election on November 7, 2020.

"With the campaign over, it's time to put the anger and the harsh rhetoric behind us and come together as a nation", he said.

She has joined British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French President Emmanuel Macron, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other world leaders in offering her congratulations.

Revelers cheered across a city that has sparred for years with the president who rose to prominence in the NY real estate.

"Everything won't get better overnight, but Trump is finally gone!" tweeted the official, Sawsan Chebli.

"We're looking forward to working with the next U.S. government", German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas tweeted.

Biden replaced the phrase "senator, vice president" in his Twitter account definition with "the president-elect".

The result means Ms Harris has made history and will be the first female, black, and Indian-American vice president.
