New York Times Can’t Contain Itself In Gushing Profile Of Two Of The Democratic Party’s Most Powerful Players

What could be more inspiring than two ultra-wealthy Democrats finding love? Or at least, throwing a wedding.

Huma Abedin, veteran Democratic operative, and Alex Soros, son of leftist megadonor George Soros, tied the knot in a glitzy ceremony on “No Kings Day.” But their romance is more than a romance – it’s a blueprint for brokering peace between Israel and Palestine. That’s the degree of significance you might be inclined to heap on the Abedin-Soros union after reading The New York Times’ gushing coverage of their wedding.

The details of their star-studded love story are laid bare in a profile from the outlet. Wedding guests included Democrats such as former President Bill Clinton, and his wife Hillary, former Vice President Kamala Harris, and her husband Doug Emhoff, and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Anna Wintour, Jennifer Lawrence, and Jimmy Fallon numbered among the celebrity attendees.

Abedin had her first substantial conversation with Soros at a birthday party for heiress Nicky Hilton Rothschild held Oct. 13, 2023. Both Abedin and Soros’ moods were soured by the events of Oct. 7. “Ms. Abedin is Muslim; Mr. Soros is Jewish,” The New York Times reminds us. 

Abedin had been “mostly single” since her high-profile divorce from disgraced politician Anthony Weiner. Their interaction “left [Abedin] with no reason to think that pattern was about to change.” Abedin did not recognize Soros. When he offered to drive her home, she opted for an Uber instead. When he followed her on Instagram, she did not follow him back. When he direct messaged her, she did not respond. 

Every great romance begins with a string of firm rejections. Maybe Soros charmed her with his adroit DoorDash skills. 

“And on Sunday night, I cooked,” Soros said of a shared meal with his future wife. “That means I ordered from Nobu.” At 39, Soros is a millennial, meaning “quirky” haplessness is a native skill. The elder Abedin, 49, was no doubt spellbound.

Abedin “brings out a much more joyful, loving side of me,” Soros said, according to The New York Times. “I’m completely vulnerable with her, and she’s kind and warm and nonjudgmental. I’m at the point where she’s a part of me.” Abedin’s public persona does much to conceal her kindness. A recent photoshoot with her then-fiance in The New Yorker elicits not warmth, but arctic frigidity. Maybe she learned it from Hillary Clinton, whom she served as top aide for years.

Regardless, the couple has made it work. Religious differences and all. “Ms. Abedin and Mr. Soros signed the ketubah in honor of Mr. Soros’s Jewish faith and the nikah in honor of Ms. Abedin’s Muslim faith in an intimate, interfaith ceremony,” The New York Times writes. Their ceremony was officiated by both a rabbi and a trustee at Muslims for Progressive Values. The trustee is a “certified life cycle celebrant,” according to the outlet. I have many questions. The least of which being: Does this Muslim for Progressive Values celebrate all life cycles, or just human ones? Can I book him for a salmon running ceremony?

Putting aside my ignorance in these matters, I encourage readers to look to Abedin and Soros as an example of intra-faith, intra-generational bridge-building. 

“With so much hardship and violence across the world today, it wasn’t an obvious time for a wedding party. But as so many friends shared in their toasts, gathering to celebrate joy and love felt not only right, but necessary,” Abedin said in a wedding speech, according to The New York Times. If two high-powered liberals can put aside their differences and throw a lavish ceremony full of Democrat A-listers, why can’t the nations of Israel and Palestine?
