08.07.2015 | News | Alicia Powe |

Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton was busy keeping up with a few members of the Kardashian family Thursday evening, while all eyes were on the Fox News GOP presidential debate.

Just as the primary GOP debate got underway on Fox News, Kardashian announced she planned to meet Clinton that evening and hoped to take a selfie with her.

Kardashian tweeted she was “excited to be meeting our next President tonight!! Maybe she’ll take a selfie with me.”

Kardashian attended a Clinton fundraiser, hosted by Scooter Braun -– the music manager of Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande.

A few hours later, she did indeed get her selfie, a rare smiling Kanye, included.

“I got my selfie!!! I really loved hearing her speak & hearing her goals for our country!” Kardashian wrote on Twitter.

This was Clinton’s third swing through Los Angeles since announcing her presidential bid.

Ticket prices were $2,700 a person for the event that drew about 250 people.

Kardashian and Kanye West, along with Kris Jenner were reportedly among the early evening arrivals to attend. Other guests included Jeffrey Katzenberg, Jessica Alba and Cash Warren, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, Usher, Jason Collins and Mary Steenburgen, a longtime friend of the Clintons.

Clinton told Rev. Al Sharpton earlier in the day that she didn’t want to watch the GOP debate because the Republican candidates are racist and trying to hinder black people from voting.

Excited to be meeting our next President tonight!! Maybe she’ll take a selfie with me!
