They’re starting to line up to run for governor to replace lame duck Gov. Gavin Newsom when his term expires after 2026. Yes, already.The first in line Monday was Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis, 57.A few hours later, former state Controller Betty Yee, 65, said she plans to run too.They’re Democrats, of course — the only political type who can be elected governor or U.S. senator in California these days.If Kounalakis, Yee or another woman is elected, she’ll be California’s first female governor. There have been 40 governors over nearly 173 years, and we’ve elected only white males — in this, ironically, the most diverse state in the nation.The next gubernatorial election won’t be held for three years.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:58:53 GMT

MADRID (AP) — Fourth-ranked Casper Ruud was upset by Italian qualifier Matteo Arnaldi in the second round of the Madrid Open on Friday.The 105th-ranked Arnaldi beat Ruud 6-3, 6-4 for the 22-year-old’s first win over a top-10 player. After sealing the surprising victory, Arnaldi raised his arms and thumped his chest, smiling broadly.“Today, I don’t know, maybe the stadium, maybe the pressure on him, but I played the best match of my life,” said Arnaldi, who landed 35 winners and broke Ruud’s serve three times.Ruud, 24, reached the final of both the French Open and U.S. Open last year. But despite winning the Estoril Open in Portugal earlier this month, the Norwegian player has struggled at bigger events in 2023, including a second-round exit at the Australian Open in January.Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz plays the 41st-ranked Emil Ruusuvuori later, while women’s No. 1 Iga Swiatek faces Julia Grabher.___AP tennis: https://apnews.com/hub/tennis and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports Source

Field narrows to 6 teams in Premier League’s relegation race

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:58:53 GMT

The math is changing in the scramble to avoid relegation from the Premier League.From an unlikely nine-team scrap at the end of March, the field looks to have slimmed to six candidates with a month to go in the season. And one of them already appears doomed.Southampton’s 11-year stay in the top division looks like ending, with the team having plunged to last place and six points adrift of safety after collecting only three points from its last eight games.Meanwhile, Crystal Palace, Wolverhampton and Bournemouth — all onto their second managers of the season — have found some form and results at the right time to seemingly pull clear of danger.It leaves five clubs likely battling to avoid the other two relegation spots alongside Southampton, and there are some big names in there.Like Everton, a nine-time English champion which has been in the top division in its various guises since 1954.Like Leicester, which was a league champion — at preseason odds of 5,000-1 — just seven yea...
