“I’d like to see Democrats focused on the needs of working people,” de Blasio, who is vying for the party’s presidential nomination, said on Fox News’s “Special Report.”
“I think there’s too much talk about impeachment,” he said. “I think there should be a lot more talk about what we’re going to do for working people.”

“I would say all Democrats should say this, there needs to be a full investigation, the Mueller report offers lots of important evidence. I believe ultimately there are impeachable offenses there,” he said.
But de Blasio cautioned that the renewed push for impeachment following the release of Mueller’s findings might not resonate outside of Washington.
“I’m very concerned that when people turn on your network or any other network, they see Democrats inside Washington just talking about politics, just talking about process, just talking about impeachment, when they should be talking about how they’re going to fight for working people.”
De Blasio said Democrats should work toward passing an infrastructure bill that would “help put people back to work.”
