Are you the sender or receiver, if the sender what wallet are you using as you may be able to increase the fee or abandon the transaction and do a double spend with a higher fee, if your are the receiver can you ask the sender to increase the fee?
You fee is 108 Satoshi/byte, as per https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/ confirmation can be between 4-99 blocks, for future reference see at the bottom of https://bitcoinfees.earn.com for the current recommended fees.
There are people advertising here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0 to accelerate transactions, beware people say ConfirmTX website is a scam so don`t pay them.
You can try yourself on ViaBTC and Antpool free Accelerators, ViaBTC offer a pay service too and you can also continue to try to broadcast the transaction yourself, google "bitcoin broadcast transaction".
There are some users in this thread who seem to be able to fast track a confirmation of a TX so maybe they will be kind a enough to help you, wont say a name but if you read some of the threads here you will see their name.

Does blockchain.info allow you to increase the fee?
If not then you can try import your BTC address private key from Blockchain.info to Electrum ( https://electrum.org/#home )and see if Electrum allows you to increase the fee?
You will need extra BTC in your account / BTC address for the above.
Alternatively you can abandon the transaction in Bitcoin Core wallet but unfortunately you will need to download the Bitcoin blockchain for Core wallet to work and the blockchain is approx 160 GB and increasing.
You could also try asking someone to accelerate your transaction or try yourself as per links in my above post.
You can also find more info here about stuck transaction https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1914800.0
