Former vice president Joe Biden has again maintained that he and his supporters will not be bullied or surrender to the threats coming from President Donald Trump's camp as tension mounts over the US presidential election.

Biden made this disclosure while reacting to Trump's misleading flatulence on the counting of the US election in a series of tweets on Thursday, November 5.

It would be recalled that Trump, while addressing his supporters in a mid-election address, had said he wanted "all voting to stop" while also accusing Biden of electoral fraud and alleged vote stealing.

Biden, who is taking a fast and closer shot at the presidency with 264 electoral votes against Trump's 214, said he and his supporter will not be cowed into silence.

The former vice president also emphasised that no "one is going to take our democracy away from us," adding that all votes must count as he sued for patience from Americans.

"No one is going to take our democracy away from us. Not now, not ever. America has come too far, fought too many battles, and endured too much to let that happen.

"The people will not be silenced, be bullied, or surrender. Every vote must be counted."
