Democratic Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez declined to answer questions on Wednesday about whether she would endorse VP Harris and whether the VP has done a "good job" on the border.

Gluesenkamp Perez was also asked whether Harris has done a "good job" on illegal immigration as President Biden’s "border czar." The congresswoman did not respond.

Gluesenkamp Perez is one of only a few Washington Democrats yet to endorse Harris, The Daily Chronicle reported, although she has weighed in on the vice presidential race, telling Politico that Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg would be her choice.

SIX HOUSE DEMS VOTE WITH GOP TO CONDEMN KAMALA HARRIS FOR 'BORDER CZAR' ROLE

On Thursday, Gluesenkamp Perez did seem to answer the question about Harris' role at the border by becoming one of only 6 Democrats to vote in the House to condemn handling of the U.S.' southern border, the first piece of legislation targeting Harris since she became the Democrats' presumptive 2024 nominee.

Gluesenkamp Perez, who represents Washington's 3rd Congressional District in the southwest part of the state bordering Portland, Oregon, is widely viewed as one of the most vulnerable Democrats in the House after winning her 2022 race by less than 2 points.

The Cook Political Report ranks her race a "Democrat toss up."
