With 32 days to Election Day 2020, here's the news that you'll want to know:

First, and most important, our prayers are with President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump -- and all those diagnosed with COVID-19 -- for a quick and full recovery.

And on the campaign trail today:

President Trump is working at the White House. Joe Biden is planning to be in Michigan.

The left's response to President Trump's COVID diagnosis is -- sadly -- just what you'd expect: terrible.

"'I was disappointed — genuinely disappointed — to see the glee with which some people responded to this news,' Hemingway said, referring to a number of political figures and verified Twitter users tweeting comments such as, 'I hope he dies.'" (The Federalist)

-- As you've likely seen already today, President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump tested positive for COVID-19. They are at the White House today, and President Trump continues to work in leading America. Our prayers are with the President and First Lady for a quick and full recovery.

-- Vice President Pence and Second Lady Karen Pence both tested negative for COVID.

-- Joe Biden and his wife Dr. Jill Biden both tested negative for COVID as well. And Kamala Harris reported she is negative for COVID, too.

-- Sadly, some on the left have responded cruelly to President Trump's diagnosis, as Mollie Hemingway at The Federalist noted. Even though we expected that may be the case, it's still disappointing to see; to get a sense of it, check out this round-up of social media comments compiled by The Federalist.

-- Liberal actor Tom Arnold reportedly even tweeted out what he said was Hope Hicks' personal cell phone number. Hicks was diagnosed with COVID-19 on Wednesday.

-- And many in the mainstream media are doing their best to cause panic. As Fox News reported, the New York Times was "slammed on Friday for suggesting that President Trump might not be able to remain on the ballot following his positive coronavirus test."

-- Bottom line, to borrow Mollie Hemingway's words on Fox & Friends this morning: "For people who pray, it is a good time to pray. You should be praying for your world leaders, your leader of your country every day, but this is a good time to do it. It is also important that people not be hysterical when they don’t have reason to be hysterical, and that works for people no matter their perspective."

Some Democrats "deeply disturbed" as Republicans lead them in voter registration efforts.

"As deadlines approach, new data from the past few months shows Republicans have swamped Democrats in adding new voters to the rolls, a dramatic GOP improvement over 2016, even if new registrations have lagged 2016 rates across the board. It's a sign that in a pandemic, Democrats are struggling to seize traditional opportunities to pad their margins, such as the return of students to college campuses." (NBC News)

• What's happening: Republicans are leading in voter registration numbers, i.e. adding new party-affiliated voters to the voter rolls so they can vote in the presidential election, in key states.

According to reporting from NBC News:

-- In Pennsylvania: 135,619 net GOP voters and 57,985 Democratic voters (measured between the state's June primary and end of September)

-- In Florida: 195,652 net GOP voters and 98,362 Democratic voters (measured between the state's March primary and end of August)

-- In North Carolina: 83,785 net GOP voters and 38,137 Democratic voters (measured between the state's March primary and end of September)

• What's at stake: Voter registration is the all-important first step in the get-out-the-vote effort: you can't get out the vote on Election Day for people who are not registered to vote.

That's why the Republican Party's lead in key states is encouraging to the Trump campaign -- but those new voters must still show up and vote on November 3rd (or earlier or by mail, as many will do this year).

And it's discouraging to Democrats. As NBC News noted, "privately, several Democratic strategists are deeply disturbed by their party's failure to keep pace with its registration successes in 2016 and fault the Biden campaign's lack of in-person outreach for the lag."

Biden campaign finally starts going door-to-door in four states this weekend.

"But in coming days, the Biden team will send several hundred volunteers to Nevada, Michigan, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania to focus on contacting voters who may be difficult to reach by phone or computer, with plans to expand the effort to more states ahead of the election." (Reuters)

• What's happening: The Biden campaign is resuming traditional campaign get-out-the-vote efforts just over 30 days from the election. Volunteers will go door-to-door in the Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Nevada, and Michigan this weekend.

President Trump's campaign has had ongoing door-to-door efforts. In August, they reported 1 million doors knocked in one week.

• What's at stake: The Biden campaign is finally catching up to the rest of the Democratic Party, which had been concerned about the lack of traditional voter outreach (just see The Vote story above this one!).

Biden's campaign manager had raised eyebrows for suggesting that door-knocking didn't matter much in campaigns. That's the exact opposite of the Obama 2008 and Obama 2012 campaigns' intensive focus on voter contact.

"While you might hear our opponent spend a lot of time talking about the millions of door knocks or attempts that they're making week to week, those metrics actually don't have any impact on reaching voters," she said on a call in September.

And Democrats in down-ballot, i.e. non-presidential, races have been organizing their own door-knocking efforts for awhile.

Democrats will likely be happy the Biden campaign is (at last) fully committing to campaigning ... but the question is how much of a difference it will make 32 days out from the election with a high level of early voting
