They’re the ladies on the left who lunch.
The newest female Democratic power trio was recently spotted at the swanky Midtown restaurant The Polo Bar.
Huma Abedin, the ex-wife of disgraced Congressman Anthony Weiner, broke bread with Hillary Clinton and George Clooney’s wife, Amal, at the celebrity hotspot last week, a source told Paula Froelich of NewsNation.
”There were secret security and bodyguards everywhere,” the source said.
“They were just huddled together at a table talking.”
Abedin is tying the knot with philanthropist George Soros’ son Alex, who controls his dad’s $25 billion dollar Open Society Foundations, one of the world’s largest private philanthropic funds that donates to liberal political causes.
The 48-year-old — who started her political career as an intern for Clinton in 1996, then became her deputy chief of staff and vice chair of her 2016 presidential campaign — now runs the Democratic Party inside circle, Froelich’s sources said.
Clooney, an international lawyer, and her hubby — who famously penned the 2024 New York Times essay “I Love Joe Biden, But We Need A New Nominee” — are liberal icons and run the Clooney Foundation for Justice together.
Abedin, Clinton and Clooney are now considered “the female triumvirate of the Democratic Party,” Froelich said, adding that Adedin’s wedding to Soros will take on June 14 in the Hamptons and may include the Dems talking about plans to revive the party.
”If these people are picking the new party head, we are in trouble,” an insider told her.
