Huma Abedin and Alex Soros: A Political Power Couple Engaged
Huma Abedin, former aide to Hillary Clinton, is engaged to Alex Soros, son of billionaire liberal donor George Soros.
The couple was spotted celebrating the happy news in Italy after Soros popped the question six weeks ago. Abedin, who was deputy chief of staff to Clinton, and Soros, who is an heir to the George Soros fortune, are both active in politics. Soros is a longtime donor to liberal causes through his Open Society Foundations organization.
The engagement was first reported by Vogue, which confirmed the news with Abedin and Soros. The couple has not yet announced a wedding date.
Abedin and Soros are both from prominent political families. Abedin's father, Syed Abedin, was a Bangladeshi-American political scientist and professor. Soros's father, George Soros, is a Hungarian-American billionaire and philanthropist who made his fortune in hedge funds.
The couple's engagement is a sign of the growing influence of the Soros family in American politics. George Soros has been a major donor to Democratic candidates and causes for decades, and his son, Alex, is following in his footsteps.
Abedin and Soros's engagement is also a reminder of the close ties between the Clinton and Soros families. Hillary Clinton and George Soros have been friends and allies for many years, and their children are now engaged to be married.
The engagement of Abedin and Soros is a major event in the world of politics and philanthropy. The couple is expected to play a significant role in the years to come.
