"California Governor Gavin Newsom has earned a lot of goodwill with Americans over the past year for successfully trolling Donald Trump. And while the tweets are pretty good, let us not forget that Newsom also welcomed Steven Bannon and Charlie Kirk onto his podcast, has fully thrown trans kids under the bus, and once said that anyone expressing outrage over the government's disappearance of Kilmar Abrego Garcia was just "a distraction.""
""Back in my great state of California, my very own governor, Gavin Newsom, has vetoed our menopause bill, not one but two years in a row," Berry said at the New York Times ' DealBook Summit. "But that's OK, because he's not going to be governor forever." "And with the way he's overlooked women-half the population-by devaluing us in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either," she said."
"The bipartisan Menopause Care Equity Act made it to Newsom's desk in 2024 and 2025-if he had signed, it would have required health care policies and plans to offer coverage for treatment options for perimenopause and menopause symptoms. Though after vetoing it again, he did direct the California Health and Human Services Agency to find ways to address menopause and perimenopause in 2026's budget."
Gavin Newsom built public goodwill by mocking Donald Trump while hosting controversial figures and dismissing serious concerns about missing persons and trans youth rights. Halle Berry called out Newsom for vetoing a menopause bill two consecutive years and linked those vetoes to devaluing women in midlife and doubts about presidential suitability. The bipartisan Menopause Care Equity Act would have required health plans to cover perimenopause and menopause treatments; Newsom vetoed it in 2024 and 2025. After the second veto, Newsom directed the California Health and Human Services Agency to explore menopause and perimenopause measures for the 2026 budget. Berry founded Respin to advocate for women's health.
