How do you know this?

My social media is full of Divine Nine members taking about their energetic support for Harris; the whacking great numbers of dollars raised in the last 48 hours; the Divine Nine are the four natl Black sororities and the five natl Black fraternities. I live in the Maryland suburbs of Washington DC. If you live here long enough, you absorb how much the Divine Nine have contributed to the growth and success of the Black middle class; and they are all in for Harris. If you live or work anywhere around South Asians, you notice how well-to-do much of the community are, and how excited the Aunties are about Kamala. That is how I know this.

OK. Didn't know about them and their role in the Black middle class. I was hoping for some kind of credible reporting, but I'll take your word for it since you live where you do, meaning close to the political power center.

Re: credible reporting, I think this is a story thatтАЩs being missed by media. They may eventually catch up, but at the moment theyтАЩre too distracted by the vast sums of money and the D cohesion to ask where the money and the cohesion is coming from, and why.

As to credible reporting, I meant not cable news bliviators, but reporters who cite FEC reports.

FEC.gov is open for all, but the money is still rolling in. Like I said, this is тАФ whatтАЩs the media term? тАФ an evolving story. Eventually theyтАЩll get around to asking why this happened so quickly.
