闪电侠

中新社北京8月11日电 2022年斯诺克英国公开赛于北京时间11日凌晨结束资格赛第二日的较量，中国军团斩获9连胜——继首日5人全员获胜后，次日4名中国球员又悉数晋级。    Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, both 2024 Republican candidates, sounded off further on the Israel-Hamas war as President Joe Biden traveled to Israel to support the U.S. ally.Meanwhile, Illinois' Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker seized on reproductive rights, one of his party's top rallying cries for voters, amid ongoing speculation that he has future aspirations beyond Springfield.Here are tidbits from the campaign trail from Wednesday.

DeSantis, Scott go after Biden on Israel

DeSantis and Scott appeared to try to burnish their conservative bona fides on Israel on Wednesday, bashing Biden over his handling of the latest conflict as he flew into a war zone to meet directly with leaders there.DeSantis lambasted the $100 million in humanitarian aid the White House supports sending to the Palestinian territories of Gaza and the West Bank, arguing that the funds -- rather than aiding civilians caught up in the fighting -- will go toward helping Hamas extremists."We know Hamas is going to commandeer that money, and Hamas is going to use it to advance terrorism. I say no U.S. tax dollars to the Gaza Strip," the governor said in a statement.Biden has said that the aid will be cut off if there's any evidence that Hamas is siphoning it off, but former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, who has engaged in a back-and-forth with DeSantis, mocked the statement, touting the 2018 move while she was in the Trump administration to eliminate funds to the U.N. agency responsible for humanitarian aid to Palestinians.Meanwhile, Scott accused Biden of not supporting Israel enough, contending that the president needed a "backbone."Biden on Wednesday gave an impassioned speech in which he vowed to back Israel while urging its response to not be driven by "rage.""You can't look at what has happened here ... and not scream out for justice," Biden said. "Justice must be done. But I caution this: While you feel that rage, don't be consumed by it. After 9/11, we were enraged in the United States. While we sought justice and got justice, we also made mistakes."

New push on reproductive rights could produce new presidential chatter

Pritzker, the two-term Illinois governor and billionaire hotel heir, launched Think Big America, which will focus on protecting abortion access across the country and supporting ballot initiatives to enshrine protections for the procedure into state constitutions.The group is already "actively engaged" in the campaign for an Ohio ballot measure that would codify abortion protections in the state as well as in Nevada and Arizona to support their ongoing ballot measure efforts, a spokeswoman for the group said.Pritzker has sometimes been discuSeizing on a top motivator for Democrats is likely to continue to raise Pritzker's profile, though he has played down any chance of immediately running for higher office.

Cadidate redo in Arizona

Arizona Republican Rep. Debbie Lesko's retirement is setting off a new primary with some old names.Lesko's seat, located in a deep red Phoenix-area district, has already drawn a bid from Abe Hamadeh, who still baselessly claims victory in Arizona's race for attorney general last year despite narrowly losing."Our country is in desperate need of courageous fighters, and that's why I'm proud to announce I'm running for Congress in Arizona's 8th District," Hamadeh wrote on X.An aide close to Hamadeh said he will enter the race with support from Donald Trump allies including Kari Lake and former Trump official Ric Grenell, two firebrands with ties to the former president.A source close to the influential Club for Growth confirms to ABC News that David McIntosh, a former congressman and the club's president, also discussed the race with Blake Masters, who failed to unseat Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly last year.A potential matchup would pit two Trump-aligned Republicans against each other in a primary, and a win by either would make them the heavy favorite in the general election next November.

Crow heads West

Independent presidential candidate and philosopher Cornel West received a maximum campaign donation of $3,300 from Republican megadonor Harlan Crow just weeks before West changed his party affiliation from the Green Party to independent, West's latest campaign finance disclosure revealed.The move is the latest by Crow to draw eyebrows, after his close ties to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, which reportedly included lavish trips and stays at various properties, raised concerns over the influence rich donors could have over the court. Thomas has insisted the hospitality was merely between friends.ABC News' Libby Cathey, Abby Cruz, Hannah Demissie, Will McDuffie and Isabella Murray contributed to this report.。其中中国台球“一哥”丁俊晖以4:2战胜“95后”奥利弗·莱恩斯，赢得了其赛季首秀。自今年四月在斯诺克世锦赛正赛上遭遇“一轮游”后，丁俊晖返回国内，接连缺席了2022-2023赛季的前两场比赛(冠军联赛和欧洲大师赛资格赛)，此番出战英国公开赛资格赛是其新赛季的首次亮相。丁俊晖此次的对手是子承父业的英国小将小莱恩斯。此役开始，状态不错的丁俊晖迅速进入状态，前两局以2:0领先。随后莱恩斯连下两城，以2:2追平比分。关键时刻，丁俊晖显示出实力和经验上的优势，接连打出单杆81分和128分的好成绩，以98:0、133:0连续两局零封对手，最终以大比分4:2在赢得新赛季首秀的同时，也成功晋级英国公开赛正赛(正赛将于当地时间9月26日至10月2日举行)。作为中国台球的领军人物和世界斯诺克领域曾经的“80后”翘楚，丁俊晖近几年状态低迷。在2019年英锦赛上获得第14个排名赛冠军后，近3年来不仅无缘在排名赛中再次登顶，且多次在不同赛事中早早出局，世界排名已掉至第34位。因此，球迷们也期待丁俊晖能在新赛季重振旗鼓，打破久违的冠军荒，赢得第15个、乃至更多的排名赛冠军。在本次资格赛第二日的其它赛事中，另3名出战的中国选手也均传出捷报——刚在冠军联赛中跻身决赛的鲁宁以4:3绝杀塞尔特；“80后”老将田鹏飞在0:1落后的被动局面下，以4:2击败克雷吉；少年成名的吕昊天以4:1淘汰老将马克·金。至此，在本次资格赛前两日出战的9名中国选手全员晋级正赛。

B | 资格赛第三日，又有3名中国选手登场亮相，他们是梁文博、袁思俊、吴安仪。

C | 其中最受关注的当属另一名中国台球老将、继丁俊晖和中国香港名将傅家俊后第三位获得排名赛冠军的中国球员梁文博。

D | 因“殴打女性事件”，梁文博被世台联禁赛至今年8月1日，英国公开赛成为其解禁复出的首场赛事。在日前进行的热身训练中，梁文博状态爆棚，打出单杆147分，其在新赛季首秀的表现同样备受关注和期待。2022年英国公开赛资格赛于当地时间8月9日至14日进行，采取7战4胜制，所有参赛球员都将进行一轮资格赛，胜者进入正赛。中国军团共有28人参赛，再创参加排名赛人数的新高。(完)
