On Thursday, Hillary Clinton hosted a holiday party in New York to thank her major donors, but, according to reports, the mood was less than festive, reports the Daily Mail.
The former Democratic nominee has been described as looking “glum” while Page Six quotes an attendee as saying the event “was like a wake with a band.”
This unnamed source also reportedly commented that “it was a little bit of group therapy and a lot of love.”
At one point, Clinton is believed to have given a speech, with her husband, daughter, and son-in-law joined by her running mate and campaign manager on the stage behind her.
Other attendees said to have been spotted in the crowd include advisers Huma Abedin, film producer Harvey Weinstein, Vogue editor Anna Wintour, and designer Vera Wang.
Despite this show of support, there are reports that some top backers are calling for an analysis of why Clinton lost in such a shocking way.
According to the Daily Beast, the party cost around $100,000 and was held in the Plaza Hotel’s Grand Ballroom where her former opponent Donald Trump happened to have married Marla Maples decades ago.
