Willie Nelson’s ‘Vote ’Em Out’ rallies for O’Rourke
Roughly 55,000 people stood crammed together at Auditorium Shores in Austin, Texas, on Saturday for the Turn Out for Texas rally, watching as U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke sang “On the Road Again” with country music legend Willie Nelson.
The crowd, which included politicians and constituents alike, reached its highest volume when Nelson unveiled a new song to mark the occasion, “Vote ’Em Out.”
“If you don’t like who’s in there, vote ’em out,” he sang. “That’s what Election Day is all about, and the biggest gun we’ve got is called the ballot box. So if you don’t like who’s in there, vote ’em out.”
Nelson and O’Rourke previously shared the stage on the Fourth of July during the annual Willie’s Picnic at Circuit of the Americas.
