Former President Bill Clinton took control of his wife’s Snapchat account Friday as the Democratic presidential candidate continues her campaign three days before the Iowa caucus.

“Here it is, you’re going to be in charge of my Snapchat account today,” she says in a video posted to the account, breaking into laughter while patting her husband’s arm.

“Have fun!” she adds with a laugh.

Her campaign also posted a photo from the video to Twitter:

Candidates in both parties have increasingly used Snapchat to help spread their messages and gin up enthusiasm heading into the first votes of the year.

Ted Cruz tweaked his Republican presidential rival Donald Trump this week on the picture and message platform, mocking “Ducking Donald” for skipping the latest GOP debate.
