The results came in Tuesday night after polls closed at 8 p.m.
Over 67 percent of California voters voted no in the Sept. 14 recall election, which was only the second recall of a governor in the state’s history to go before voters, per CNN.
Over 40 candidates, including reality-television star Caitlyn Jenner and YouTuber Kevin Paffrath, ran to replace Newsom in the Tuesday election. In recent months, conservative talk-show host Larry Elder emerged as the frontrunner and garnered the support of right-leaning Hollywood types like Scott Baio, Jon Voight, Dean Cain and Chuck Norris; Rose McGowan also supported Elder and appeared with him at a campaign rally on Sunday.
