Julia Roberts Faces Backlash for Ad Encouraging Women to Vote Differently from Husbands

Actress Julia Roberts is under fire after appearing in a campaign ad suggesting that women should feel empowered to vote independently of their husbands' preferences.

Conservative commentators were swift to call out what they saw as a misguided assumption about women’s decision-making abilities, fueling a broader debate on celebrity influence in politics.
