At least one House Democrat is not committing to voting for Vice President and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris .

Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) told Axios that he would “absolutely not” commit to casting his ballot for Harris this November.

“I at least know that she’s capable of finishing the next four-year term,” he mused. “That’s a positive step in the right direction, I think, from the perspective of the American people. They at least have a clear choice.”

He went on to say, however that he could not confirm that he would vote for her at this time, instead promising to “wait and see what she puts forward and what her vision for the future of the country is.”

Golden also joined the Republican caucus in the House of Representatives — and five of his fellow Democrats — to condemn Harris and the Biden administration over their “failure” to secure the United States’ southern border with Mexico on Thursday by voting for a resolution put forward by Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY).

It read:

The House of Representatives strongly condemns the Biden Administration and its Border Czar, Kamala Harris’s, failure to secure the United States border; affirms that the American people deserve elected officials who understand the gravity of the crisis at the border and who will execute the policies to fix the border crisis; clearly and firmly states that the continuation of the Biden, Harris border policies would be disastrous for both the United States and the American people.

The other Democrats to cross the aisle and vote in favor of the resolution were Reps. Yadira Caraveo (D-CO), Don Davis (D-NC) Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA), Henry Cuellar (D-TX), and Mary Peltola (D-AK)
