Body language expert scrutinizes Kamala's first interview as presidential nominee
Vice President Kamala Harris faced scrutiny over her body language during her first media interview since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee.
The interview, conducted by CNN on Thursday night, featured Harris alongside her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
A body language expert, Susan Constantine, shared her analysis with Fox News Digital, expressing concern over Harris' demeanor. "When I look at her overall demeanor, she does not carry the confidence or the presidential appearance in her position to command," Constantine stated.
The expert noted Harris' tendency to look down while responding to questions, suggesting this behavior "removes a lot of the fluidity and the authenticity" from her responses. Constantine also pointed out instances of "head bobbling" when Harris appeared to struggle with answers, interpreting it as a sign of unpreparedness.
When asked about her "day one" agenda, Harris provided broad responses rather than specific executive orders or directives. Constantine viewed this as another indicator of a lack of confidence in her own answers.
The interview setting, which had Harris seated next to Governor Walz, also drew comment. Constantine observed that Harris seemed to be "consistently looking for acknowledgment" from Walz during the event.
The Harris campaign has not yet responded to requests for comment on the Vice President's performance in the interview.
Constantine concluded her analysis with advice: "As one woman to another, I would say if you're going to be a woman in power, you have to look like a woman in power. And she doesn't at this time."
