Redfield tried to squirm out of answering the question several times, saying he would “review it in detail” with the CDC and “work with HHS to see how to best operationalize it.” But Porter kept reclaiming her time and interjecting—“Not good enough” and “Yes or no?”—until the CDC chief eventually relented. "I think you're an excellent questioner, so my answer is yes," Redfield said.

On top of that, Porter told me voters would frequently ask her how she could handle being a congresswoman as a single mom. “People come up to me and say, ‘If you win, who will care for your children?’” she said. “I’m a tenured professor―I’m doing it.
