Meh. Mike Pence is a FIJI. I'm sure it'll all even out.
I also question this assertion the Wapo made without evidence:

I strongly doubt that 100% of the Divine Nine are volunteering on the Biden campaign. Since only 8% of the U.S. population will either donate to, or volunteer on, a presidential election campaign - mobilizing 100% of a one million membership group would be the singularly largest accomplishment in the history of American political organizing and is simply beyond the limits of believability.
The reporter, Chelsea Jane, got the 2020 election beat after a couple years compiling box scores of San Diego Padres games as a junior reporter for MLB.com. If she'd quoted an expert source or provided data for her assertion that would be one thing, but she doesn't have the personal qualifications or journalistic pedigree that would give me any confidence in an unsourced assertion she made from her own independent analysis.
