After suffering an unexpected loss to Donald Trump on Election Day, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton announced that she would be hosting a holiday party at Manhattan’s Plaza Hotel to thank her multimillionaire donors — and according to one guest, the event was far from festive.

“It was like a wake with a band,” the guest said. “It was a little bit of group therapy and a lot of love.”
Spotted in the crowd of celebrities, top-tier donors, and VIP boosters were Bill Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, and Marc Mezvinsky; advisers Huma Abedin, John Podesta, and Robby Mook; donors Alan Patricof, Bernard Schwartz, Marc Lasry, Jay Snyder, and Robert Zimmerman; designers Vera Wang and Tory Burch; and Anna Wintour, Harvey Weinstein, and Danny Meyer.
“No one has any illusion of ‘the band coming back together again,’ but it did bring a sense of closure,” a Clinton supporter in attendance said when asked if Clinton would run again in the future. “There was a spirit of, ‘We have taken the last eight years for granted.’ But people did walk out of there with a mission.”
