Huma Abedin hasn't gotten lunch in Brooklyn in a year and a half of working there
Hillary Clinton's longtime right-hand woman Huma Abedin isn't often seen on the campaign trail — or rather, she is there, but she is running the show from behind the scenes. But working on a presidential campaign is time consuming and exhausting: "I can't remember the last time I walked into a movie theater," Abedin told Vogue by way of example.
As one of Clinton's closest staffers (who is pretty much assumed to be the chief of staff if Clinton wins the election), Abedin ends up spending a whole lot of time in the campaign's headquarters in Brooklyn. Consequently, she doesn't have a lot of time to leave —or, well, eat:
It's no wonder that Abedin’s office hours usually run into the late night. Her habit is to come home and catch up on the hundreds of emails she receives daily. "My goal is to try to at least look at them," she says. But she rarely makes it all the way before passing out. When someone recently asked for a restaurant recommendation near the office, Abedin didn't know a single eatery in downtown Brooklyn: In a year and a half of working there, she'd never once left the building for lunch.
