Gavin Newsom, the incumbent California Governor received $3 million as a donation from Reed Hastings the co-CEO of Netflix, intended for Newsom’s anti-recall campaign, according to filing to the secretary of state of California on Thursday, Fox News informed.
Politico stated that the donation to the Stop the Republican Recall was the biggest one so far.
Newsom, who is faced with a recall vote in fall, initiated by Republicans who blasted his Covid-19 restrictions, is not limited on the amounts of money he is allowed to raise. However, according to the campaign laws, his challengers can go up to $32,400 in their direct accounts.
According to Politico, the state law sees issue in his defense of the recall, and not a run for office, which is why he is not limited in terms of raising donations.
Hastings, as well as his wife, donated $29,600 and $32,400 to the California Governor’s campaign.
