Body language expert says Kamala Harris 'lacked confidence' during her first sit-down interview with CNN

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA: Kamala Harris gave her first sit-down interview to CNN after accepting the Democratic Party's presidential nomination.

As many critics believed, Harris was given softball by host Dana Bash.

Body language expert analyzes Kamala Harris' first interview with CNN

Judi James, who is an analyst of communication and body language, observed that Kamala Harris had a “tone of curt decisiveness,” embracing a “new look of direct answers and power poses” while answering questions on Thursday, August 29.

The expert also pointed out that the Democratic hopeful at times seemed vulnerable when asked questions such as why her stance has changed on key issues since the 2020 campaign. 

"She reels back in her seat and her eyes drop down in a cut-off as though unaware that relevant point would be raised,” James told the Daily Mail.

In another interesting observation, the expert felt her approach to Donald Trump seemed to be acting 'as though he were still in office and she the opposition.'

Harris appeared alongside her running mate Tim Walz for the interview while on her bus campaign in Georgia. 

Kamala Harris reveals what would be her priority as president

Answering what would be her priority as president, Kamala Harris responded, "Well, there are a number of things. I will tell you, first and foremost, one of my highest priorities is to do what we can to support and strengthen the middle class."

"So, what would you do day one?" Bash persisted bringing up the 'opportunity economy.'

"When asked what she would do on her first day in the White House her body language seems to suggest she has not set foot in the place so far," James said.

"She looks up in reflection as though the thought were new to her before bringing her right hand up in a cut-off gesture to pretend to scratch her face with the back of her thumb," she analyzed.

James further noted, "Her comments are non-specific, leading to the question being repeated, but she heaves the point of her answers into an attack on Trump, displaying facial expressions of pity, sorrow and concern for the middle classes and talking about "Turning the page on division" as though Trump were still in office."

Many critics also accused Harris of using a bizarre fake accent while addressing supporters at her campaign rally in Savannah, Georgia, on Thursday, August 29.
