'Hannity' host reacts to the latest election developments in opening monologue
Georgia voters have "every right to be disgusted" with the state's handling of the 2020 presidential election, but with the Senate majority in the balance, Republicans must support Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue in the Jan. 5 runoffs, Sean Hannity said Monday.
"Make no mistake, this upcoming runoff election is about so much more than just Kelly Loeffler or Senator Perdue," the "Hannity" host said in his opening monologue.
TRUMP WARNS GEORGIA VOTERS OF CONSEQUENCES OF NOT VOTING IN SENATE RUNOFF

"This election is critical. Georgia and the people of Georgia, even though they have every right to be disgusted and may not have all the answers, they need to go to the polls for the sake of the country," he continued. "We need you."
Trump made a similar argument at a rally Saturday, telling supporters that "If you don't vote, the socialists and the communists win" control of the U.S. Senate.
