The private invite to Chelsea Clinton’s Wednesday night fund-raiser, to be held at a swanky Upper East Side residence, reads that it’s in support of her mother’s 2016 presidential bid. But some of the big spenders plunking down the big bucks to attend say Chelsea’s future in politics has been the talk of her campaign rallies. “You’re seeing the beginning of Chelsea Clinton preparing to run,” says a donor who attended Chelsea’s rally at Dr. Paul Boskind’s Midtown home last week, where “limited availability guest” entry started at $250 and $2,700 “champion” tickets included a photo with Chelsea. Our insider says: “A dynasty is on the way.” The former first daughter, 35, has not been shy about her political ambitions, though where she’d begin her career in politics is anyone’s guess. Last March, Chelsea reportedly told Sky News that she’d “absolutely" consider seeking office. “She’s clearly politically adept,” says our Clinton supporter. “People at these rallies think she’s prime for a run.” Wednesday night’s Chelsea Clinton event is being co-hosted by tennis great Billie Jean King and billed as an “LGBT reception.” Gay rights were also very much on Chelsea’s mind at last week’s fund-raiser, where she assured donors that her mom would use executive action to push through legislation that would benefit the LGBT community. “My mom would try to get through executive acts to at least make it illegal to have insurance companies reimburse for conversion therapy,” our insider heard her say. According to our source, Chelsea also said at the last rally that “everything I care most about is at stake in the election,” adding that “the next President will probably appoint up to three justices on the next Supreme Court.” Chelsea Clinton Chelsea, who gave birth to her daughter Charlotte in September 2014 and has another baby on the way around the time of July’s Democratic convention, told the crowd this election was different for her personally, because it will be the first time she’s voted as a mom. And she said her mother “is the only candidate who continually talks about a woman’s rights to choose.” Even though she isn’t in politics yet, Chelsea routinely gets complaints from New Yorkers on the street. “She said she was just in a Duane Reade and someone came up to complain about government and recycling,” said our insider. “She told the lady, ‘President Obama has nothing to do with that. If you have a complaint about recycling, you should go to Mayor de Blasio.’ ”

“She’s clearly politically adept,” says our Clinton supporter. “People at these rallies think she’s prime for a run.” This is great news! She should begin by running for U. S. senator and then be promoted to Vicar of the Outhouse after two years!
I wonder who has been holding her seat until she decides to claim it.
