Sunny Hostin, a co-host on "The View," publicly defended California Governor Gavin Newsom this week. Her comments came after actress Halle Berry criticized the governor for vetoing a menopause care bill twice.
On Friday's broadcast, Hostin countered Berry's attacks. She stated that Governor Newsom has "done a lot for women" in his policy work.
The disputed legislation aimed to increase research and awareness of menopause. Governor Newsom vetoed the most recent version in 2022, citing budget concerns.
The exchange highlights ongoing debates over women's health policy and political accountability in California.
