In a post to Instagram Wednesday, the former first lady, 56, shared a photo of Democratic nominee, Vice President Joe Biden, whom her husband, former President Barrack Obama, endorsed in April.
"If you were turned off by the President’s behavior last night, I feel you. Believe me, I do," she began. "But we can’t let him win by tuning out altogether. That’s what he wants."
She called on her followers to take action in the wake of the heated debate.
"So turn those feelings into action—turn them into votes for my friend, @JoeBiden," she wrote. "It’s the only way we can get out of this chaos and restore some stability to this country."
She continued, "You can start by reaching out to everyone you know. Make sure they’re registered. Make sure they know how and when they’re going to vote. And then follow up with them, every day, to make sure they cast their ballot. Because in this election, we’ve got to vote for Joe in numbers that cannot be denied."
