Actress Halle Berry Criticizes Governor Newsom Over Vetoed Menopause Bills

Actress Halle Berry publicly criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom this week. She expressed strong disapproval of his recent veto of legislation aimed at menopause research and awareness. Berry made her remarks during a speech about ageism in Hollywood and American society. She told the audience that Newsom’s actions show he “probably should not be our next president.” The vetoed bills would have funded research and created new educational guidelines about menopause. Berry has been a vocal advocate for the legislation, arguing it addresses a neglected women’s health issue. Governor Newsom’s office has cited fiscal concerns as the reason for the veto. He stated the proposals should be considered during the annual budget process.
