The off-the-record call quickly reached capacity, with organizer Jotaka Eaddy having to increase capacity.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the nation&rsquo;s top black leaders joined the meeting, including Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH), the immediate past chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus. Beatty later told MSNBC that &ldquo;for us, it&rsquo;s personal, and we stand with Vice President Harris.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Other lawmakers on the call included Rep.
