No idea but Biden did have a big role in overturning Reagan’s veto against sanctions in South Africa.

And much credit to the late Ron Dellums.

Working to end apartheid was one of Dellums’ primary legacies when he left a 27-year career in Congress in 1998. Dellums first introduced a sanctions bill in 1972…

The anti-apartheid movement in the United States was nascent in the early 1970s, but Dellums pushed for sanctions year after year. Success came in 1986, when the House passed Dellums’ legislation.

Then-President Ronald Reagan rejected a Senate version of the bill, but his veto was overridden. It was the first time in the 20th Century that Congress overrode a foreign-policy veto, according to Dellums’ office.
