哈莉·贝瑞在《纽约时报》2025年DealBook峰会上发表演讲时，大胆点名加州州长加文·纽森，并对其可能参选总统的动向提出质疑。

“他如此忽视女性——占人口半数的人群——在中年阶段贬低我们的价值，这样的人或许也不该成为我们的下一任总统。”她说道。

奥斯卡奖得主哈莉·贝里（Halle Berry）心目中的下任美国总统人选是谁？周三她明确表示：绝非加州州长加文·纽森（Gavin Newsom）。

曾主演《死囚之舞》与《猫女》的影星哈莉·贝瑞在纽约时报DealBook峰会上发表演讲时，公开批评加州州长加文·纽森，并针对其可能参选2028年总统的动向提出质疑。纽森本人亦是该峰会特邀演讲嘉宾。59岁的贝瑞坦率谈及自身经历更年期前兆症状的困扰，并对州长于十月否决《第432号议会法案》表示遗憾——该法案旨在扩大保险对更年期相关护理及治疗的覆盖范围。

她向林肯中心爵士乐活动的与会者表示："在我伟大的家乡加利福尼亚州，我们的州长加文·纽森已连续两年否决了更年期法案——不是一次，而是连续两次。不过这没关系，因为他不会永远当州长。"

她继续说道："他如此忽视女性——占人口一半的群体——在中年阶段贬低我们的价值，这样的人恐怕也不该成为我们的下一任总统。"这番话引得观众席传来几声叹息。"只是实话实说罢了。"

州长发言人周四表示，纽森对贝里女士的倡导工作深表钦佩，并期待与她及其他利益相关方就这一关键议题展开合作。

声明称，他（纽瑟姆）与她（提案者）都致力于扩大更年期护理服务的可及性——这是许多女性难以获得的医疗资源。随后声明解释了纽瑟姆于十月否决AB 432法案的决定，指出该法案是AB 2467法案（2024年被纽瑟姆否决）的修订版，若通过将"无意中提高数百万本就捉襟见肘的职场女性及工薪家庭的医疗开支"。

声明补充道：“我们相信，通过今年的共同努力，我们能够扩大更年期必要治疗的覆盖范围，同时保护女性免受更高费用的负担。”

贝瑞在周三发表17分钟演讲前，于2024年公开了她为提升更年期认知与护理所做的努力。去年三月，她透露自己在性行为中经历的疼痛源于阴道干涩——这是围绝经期的症状，而非医生误诊的疱疹。她表示，这段经历促使她发起更年期科普行动，并创立了数字社区Respin，该平台被描述为“为正处于更年期、临近更年期或为此做准备的女性提供支持的资源库”。

去年，这位两个孩子的母亲还与众议院两党议员一同现身国会山，呼吁为更年期教育与治疗提供资金支持。

周四，贝瑞强调，争取更完善的更年期护理不应仅由女性及经历这一阶段的人群独自承担。

她说：“我们需要所有的领导者，在座的每一位，这场斗争需要你们。我们需要你们保持好奇心，需要你们提出问题。即使话题令人感到陌生或不适，也需要你们去关心。”

贝里还鼓励女性们“拒绝在你人生中最重要的阶段被轻视”。这位年近六旬的演员对观众坦言：“我已经无暇顾及那些无关紧要的事了。”

我将拼尽全力抗争，因为这关乎我的生命长度，关乎我女儿的生命长度，更关乎全世界每一位女性的生命长度。

Halle Berry boldly called out California Gov. Gavin Newsom and his potential presidential run during her address at the New York Times 2025 DealBook Summit.

With the way hes overlooked women half the population by devaluing us in mid-life, he probably should not be our next president, either, she said.

Oscar winner Halle Berrys next pick for president of the United States? Not California Gov. Gavin Newsom, she made that abundantly clear on Wednesday.

The Monsters Ball and Catwoman star boldly called out Newsom and aimed at his potential bid for the presidency in 2028 during her address at the New York Times DealBook Summit, where he was also a featured speaker. Berry, 59, spoke candidly about her struggles with symptoms of perimenopause and lamented the governors decision in October to veto Assembly Bill 432 , which sought to extend insurance coverage for menopause-related care and treatment.

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, she told attendees at the Jazz at Lincoln Center, but thats OK because hes not going to be governor forever.

With the way hes overlooked women half the population by devaluing us in mid-life, he probably should not be our next president, either, she continued, eliciting some groans from the audience. Just saying.

A spokesperson for the governor stated on Thursday that Newsom has deep admiration for Ms. Berrys advocacy and looks forward to working with her and other stakeholders on this critical issue.

He shares her goal of expanding access to menopause care that too many women struggle to get, the statement said, before explaining Newsoms decision to veto AB 432 in October . The statement said the bill, a modified version AB 2467 (which Newsom vetoed in 2024), would have unintentionally raised health care costs for millions of working women and working families already stretched thin.

The statement added: Were confident that by working together this year, we can expand access to essential menopause treatment while protecting women from higher bills.

Berry, before her 17-minute address on Wednesday, made her fight for menopause awareness and care public in 2024. Last March, she revealed that the pain she experienced during sex was a result of vaginal dryness, a symptom of perimenopause , and not herpes as a doctor had incorrectly concluded. That experience, she said at the time, prompted her to raise awareness about menopause and led her to found Respin , a digital community described as a resource for women in the midst of menopause, on the cusp of it, or preparing for it.

Last year, the mother of two also appeared on Capitol Hill alongside several bipartisan senators to advocate for funding toward menopause education and treatment.

On Thursday, Berry underscored that the fight for increased menopause care does not fall on just women and the people who experience it.

We need all of the leaders, every single one of you in this room, this fight needs you, she said. We need you to stay curious, we need you to ask questions. We need you to care, even when the topic feels unfamiliar and uncomfortable.

Berry also encouraged women to refuse to be diminished during one of the most important seasons of your life. Nearing her 60s, the actor told her audience, I have zero f left to give.

I am going to fight like hell, because my longevity depends on it. The longevity of my daughter depends on it. The longevity of women everywhere depends on it.
