Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, recently conducted her first media interview since winning the nomination. However, according to a body language expert, her performance has sparked concerns about her confidence and presidential demeanor.
Body language professional Susan Constantine offered her analysis to Fox News Digital after watching Harris’s interview on CNN with her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

“When I look at her overall demeanor, she does not carry the confidence or the presidential appearance in her demeanor to command in her position,” Constantine noted. “So for everything that I saw last night, she definitely needs to make some tweaks into her body language to appear more confident.”
