Alpha Kappa Alpha, Inc., Kamala Harris' sorority, has formed a political action committee to support federal candidates.
Vice President Harris speaks to members of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center on July 10 in Dallas.Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris is an alumna of the sorority, part of the"Divine Nine" group of historical Black fraternities and sororities which together have more than 2.5 million active members across the country, and has made the groups a focal point of the campaign, even before Biden quit the ticket on July 21.
The sorority's new political action committee — which complements an existing voter registration, education and mobilization coordinated campaign among the organizations — is the latest indication of a wave of enthusiasm for Harris among Black Americans, whose early and enthusiastic support helped ensure Harris' uncontested glide path to the nomination following Biden's withdrawal.
