Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on Thursday reiterated that every vote must be counted and also urged the Americans to stay calm.
"In America, the vote is sacred. It's how the people of this country express their will. So, each ballot must be counted and that's what is going on at present," Mr Biden said, during a press briefing in Wilmington, Delaware.
Democracy is sometimes messy, so sometimes it requires a little patience as well. But that patience has been rewarded now for more than 240 years with a system of governance that has been the envy of the world, he said.
"The Senator (Kamala Harris) and I continue to feel very good about where things stand. We have no doubt that when the count is finished Harris and I will be declared the winners," the former US vice-president added.
"I ask everyone to stay calm. The process is working. The count is being completed. And we'll know very soon. So thank you all for your patience but we've got to count the votes," Mr Biden said.
According to Fox News count, Mr Biden currently has 264 electoral college votes. He is just six short of the majority mark.
Earlier, the US President Donald Trump said that his campaign will legally challenge all states, in which his Democratic challenger Biden claimed victory.
