Hollywood star Julia Roberts (53, "Erin Brockovich") is one of the exultant celebrities. She had regularly and clearly called people to vote on Instagram over the past few months.

For the first time in four years I feel HOPE," said the actress. But that's not all. She also writes: "Let's just hope that he (Trump) will be held accountable for his deeds and lies.
