Xavier Becerra , a former congressman and US health secretary in the Biden administration, is projected to advance in the California governor’s race, one of the most expensive state elections in US history.

Xavier Becerra , a former congressman and US health secretary in the Biden administration, is projected to advance in the California governor’s race, one of the most expensive state elections in US history. Becerra had 26% of the vote with about 60% of the estimated votes counted as of Thursday night, according to Decision Desk HQ, which projected he would advance. If elected, Becerra, 68, the son of Mexican immigrants, would be California’s first Latino governor since the late 1800s. The next question is who will face Becerra in the November general election: Steve Hilton, a Republican and former Fox News commentator backed by President Donald Trump , or fellow Democrat Tom Steyer , a billionaire populist. Under California rules, the top two finishers advance from the primary regardless of party affiliation. The race is already the most expensive gubernatorial contest in US history according to AdImpact. More than $300 million has raised or spent, according to campaign finance records tallied by Bloomberg. More than two thirds came from Steyer, a liberal billionaire who spent more than $215 million on his own campaign. Several high-profile names decided not to run, including former Vice President Kamala Harris , while other top party luminaries, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Gavin Newsom , the term-limited incumbent governor widely considered a top presidential contender, have yet to endorse. Becerra initially trailed the pack of Democratic hopefuls in fundraising and polling, under pressure to drop out of the race altogether. His fortunes changed after the early Democratic front-runner, former Congressman Eric Swalwell , dropped out following a series of sexual misconduct and assault allegations. California relies heavily on mail-in ballots, which can arrive as much as a week late so long as they were mailed on or before election day. That means a final result could still be days away. State election experts often point out that later-arriving ma...

Getty Images Market Review Consumer discretionary stocks returned -8.59% in the first quarter of 2026, according to the MSCI U.S. IMI Consumer Discretionary 25/50 Index, finishing behind the -4.33% result of the S&P 500® index amid softening consumer sentiment, persistent inflation and, in the final month of the quarter, the Iran war, which sent a shockwave through oil markets, potentially dampening growth and stoking inflation. Looking at the consumer, spending remained stable during Q1. However, spending has been increasingly supported by higher-income consumers, with lower cohorts experiencing a deceleration in real wage growth and less exposure to asset appreciation. Additionally, inflation remained above the Federal Reserve's 2% target in Q1, as tariffs contributed to rising goods inflation and prices in services and housing continued their modest declines. After the conflict in Iran pushed up energy prices, markets raised their near-term inflation expectations. Among the industries that make up the MSCI sector index, casinos & gaming (-22%) stocks were hurt largely by idiosyncratic headwinds. Stocks with exposure to sports betting, like DraftKings ( DKNG ) (-37%), fell sharply on rising competition from new prediction market platforms, such as Kalshi ( KALSHI ) and Polymarket (POLYM). Automotive manufacturers (-17%) also declined, including large index component Tesla ( TSLA ) (-17%), where mounting competition from lower-cost EV makers, especially in China, and skepticism about Tesla's pivot away from EVs and toward artificial intelligence and robotaxi initiatives, hurt the stock. Conversely, apparel retail (+2%) gained in Q1, with many firms benefiting from solid quarterly financial results and company-specific factors that elevated the stock prices. For instance, discount retailer Ross Stores ( ROST ) (+21%) benefited from effective merchandising and an uptick in demand from consumers seeking value, which drove strong traffic growth. ■ Performance Review Fo...

Feds Raid Newport Mansion, Arrest Businessman Accused Of Routing U.S. Technology To Iran Federal authorities arrested 63 year old Newport Coast technology executive Jamshid Ghomi during an early-morning operation at his luxury Orange County residence on Wednesday, according to the NY Post . He faces federal charges related to alleged violations of U.S. sanctions against Iran. Investigators claim Ghomi orchestrated a long-running scheme to obtain American-made networking and computer equipment and funnel it to customers in Iran, including organizations tied to the country's military and nuclear sectors. According to prosecutors, the operation generated millions of dollars and relied on overseas intermediaries and shell companies to conceal the equipment's final destination. Photo: CA Post/NY Post The NY Post writes that authorities allege that, over many years, Ghomi acquired restricted technology from U.S. suppliers and routed shipments through third countries before they reached Iran. The government says the equipment was ultimately delivered to numerous Iranian businesses and state-affiliated entities, some of which were already subject to U.S. sanctions. Agents executed a search warrant at Ghomi's residence before taking him into custody. Federal officials are also examining possible financial crimes, including money laundering and tax-related offenses. Court filings allege that his business brought in substantial revenue while relatively little income was reported to tax authorities. Photo: DOJ U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said the case reflects the government's effort to enforce sanctions laws and pursue both criminal penalties and the forfeiture of assets connected to the alleged conduct. He concluded: “Our nation’s laws prohibiting doing business with one of the world’s largest state sponsors of terrorism must be enforced and obeyed.” Tyler Durden Thu, 06/04/2026 - 21:20
