As the ten Republican wannabes set about each other in Cleveland, the woman they want to take on - Democrat Hillary Clinton - received the backing of Kim Kardashian.
"Excited 2 meet our next president tonight! 1st female president of the Hilary Clinton!Maybe she'll take a selfie w me," tweeted the reality star, who is married to rapper Kanye West.
It appears the model and celebrity did indeed get to meet the Democratic candidate, at a private fund-raising event in San Francisco. Shortly after her first message, she posted an image of herself and the 67-year-old. In the background stands Kanye West.
"I got my selfie!!! I really loved hearing her speak & hearing her goals for our country! #HillaryForPresident," it said.
