Texas Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar said that he's done trying to work with Vice President Kamala Harris on border issues.
Cuellar's gripes originated when Harris said she'd be visiting the border in June and a phone call from his office to hers went unreturned.
There's been some chatter among D.C.'s political class that Buttigieg, instead of Harris, should be the next Democratic nominee.
In the spring, Harris was facing pressure to go to the border from Republicans and right-wing media outlets.
She scheduled her trip to the El Paso section of the U.S.-Mexico border after Trump announced he would be paying his border wall a visit.
Cuellar, whose district is in southern Texas and along the U.S.-Mexico border, had instructed his aides to call the vice president's office to give them some help.
The moderate Democrat told The Times that in the future he would go straight to the West Wing for any immigration problems.
