Celebrities react to Gov. Gavin Newsom's victory in his recall election

Celebrities who supported governor Gavin Newsom amid the recent recall election in California took to Twitter to react to his big win on Tuesday.

Newsom, who was overwhelmingly elected governor in 2018 in the heavily blue state, was facing a recall drive sparked last year mainly over accusations that he mishandled his state’s response to the coronavirus, the worst pandemic to strike the globe in a century.

He was heavily favored in the recall election by Hollywood celebrities, many of whom took to social media as results of the election were pouring in.
