The 39-year-old actress followed up the post with a solo shot of herself and the former Secretary of State. The two women looked Capitol Hill-ready in their professional indigo and green oufits.


Kerry wasn’t the only member of the Scandal family who met the former first lady. Actor Scott Foley, who plays Jake Ballard on the drama series, snapped a selfie during Hillary’s visit along with costar Tony Goldwyn. Perhaps the White House hopeful was getting some advice from President Fitz (played by Tony)?
