New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio brushed off questions about his likability as he seeks the Democratic nomination for president, and said while he thinks investigations will ultimately lead to Donald Trump’s impeachment, the party must focus more on other issues.
Asked on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday about poor favorability ratings and an April 3 Quinnipiac University survey showing that 76% of voters in his own city don’t think he should run, de Blasio said he won two elections in New York overwhelmingly, and that voters will get to know him.
