In June 2018, Willie Nelson released a public statement criticizing the
Trump administration family separation policy. During
his annual Fourth of July Picnic, Nelson was joined on stage by
Beto O'Rourke, a candidate in the
2018 Senate election in Texas. Nelson later gave his endorsement to O'Rourke, amid criticism from the conservative part of his fan base. On September 29, 2018 Nelson offered a free concert in
Austin, Texas, supporting O'Rourke's campaign efforts. At the end of the concert, Nelson debuted his new song "Vote 'Em Out". The track was released as a single on October 11. ==Sources==
