Rep. Dan Kildee (D-Mich.) said Thursday that his constituents would prefer if Congress focused on issues that are relevant to them rather than the impeachment of President Donald Trump, echoing similar claims made by at least two other Democrats, in a break with Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and other leaders.

“Mostly, I hear that they want us to work on issues like the prescription drug prices, trade, and the economy,” Kildee told Fox News. “They do offer their thoughts on this and I think that’s positive, but mostly the American people want us to work on the issues that affect them at the kitchen table everyday.”
