Trump renews fiery immigration rhetoric as midterms near

President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign was defined by his fiery immigration rhetoric. Now, with weeks to go before the midterm elections, Trump is returning to the hot-button issue as he looks to stave off Democratic gains in Congress.

Immigration is forming a key part of Trump's closing argument to voters, an approach that offers both risks and rewards as he seeks to energize Republican voters to counter Democratic enthusiasm. In campaign stops and on Twitter in recent days, Trump has seized on a caravan of Central American migrants trying to reach the United States as fresh evidence that his tough immigration prescriptions are needed.

Trump told supporters in Montana Thursday that "this will be an election of Kavanaugh, the caravan, law and order and common sense."

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — Charlie Woods failed to advance in a U.S. Open local qualifying event Thursday, shooting a 9-over 81 at Legacy Golf & Tennis Club.

The 15-year-old son of Tiger Woods tied for 61st among the 74 players who finished. The top five advanced to regional qualifying.

Woods shot 40 on the front nine, opening bogey-double bogey. He followed a birdie on the par-3 fifth with another double bogey. He shot 41 on the back with three bogeys and a double bogey.

The U.S. Open will be played June 13-16 at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina.

Woods also struggled in February in a pre-qualifier for the PGA Tour's Cognizant Classic, taking a 12 on a hole and shooting a 16-over 86 at Lost Lake Golf Club in Hobe Sound.

Woods has played the 36-hole PNC Championship with his father the last four years in a scramble format.
