"I honestly think he has two priorities: trying to get his student loan bill passed but also trying to help the Ukraine situation," Maurice said. He added that he’s not opposed to Biden aiding Ukraine in its war with Russia so long as the U.S. doesn't involve itself more than other allied countries.
"As in, I help as much as everybody else is helping," Maurice added. "I'm not going to put immediate focus where my focus should not be."
"I don't even know his priorities," Alston told Fox News "I could get [why] his name is ‘Sleepy Joe’ because he doesn't do anything because I don't know what his priorities are. I know he's tried to do the Ukraine thing."

Korell said the president is focused on "keeping his kid out of jail." The president’s son, Hunter Biden, has been under federal investigation since 2018 for suspected tax crimes, gun crimes, and over his foreign dealings. In June he was charged with two misdemeanor tax offenses and a felony firearm offense, and the U.S. prosecutor on the case, David Weiss, was elevated to special counsel, allowing him to widen the scope of his investigation.
Bill, however, said he thinks Biden is focused on improving the lives of the working-class and minorities.
