Tech leaders are betting on a former executive to take the lead in the California governor's race. The 43-year-old mayor of San Jose, Matt Mahan is a moderate Democrat who has built his profile mainly by criticizing Gov. Gavin 69ÂÜÀòom on homelessness and crime. His centrist message and opposition to raising taxes has appealed to tech leaders who want a business-friendly governor to succeed 69ÂÜÀòom. In just three months, he’s raised more than any of his rivals. But he's running out of time to win over voters, while labor unions and a segment of Democratic voters are questioning whether he’ll stand up to the tech industry that's backing him.

Militants have ambushed a convoy of trucks heading to Mali’s blockaded capital of Bamako. That's according to a transportation workers union. Wednesday's attack is the latest in a crisis that began with coordinated attacks by separatist and jihadi forces last month that seized several cities and pushed Malian troops and allied Russia-backed forces from military posts. A member of the road transport branch of the Democratic Confederation of Labor union says the attackers opened fire at a convoy of trucks from Morocco carrying fruit. He says the fate of the drivers was not immediately known. The government has not confirmed the attack and no group immediately claimed responsibility for it.

The NFL and its officials are moving closer toward a new agreement that avoids a work stoppage. After a lengthy stalemate, negotiations have reached a point where the NFL Referees Association is planning to have a ratification vote this week, a person with knowledge of the discussions told The Associated Press on Tuesday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the conversations are private. ESPN first reported the development. Last month, the league began the onboarding process for replacement officials because negotiations weren’t progressing. The NFL’s collective bargaining agreement with the NFL Referees Association is set to expire on May 31. The league and the union have been negotiating a new CBA since the summer of 2024.
