Kamala Harris recently gave her first media interview since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee, but her performance has raised doubts about her confidence and presidential demeanor, according to a body language expert.

Susan Constantine, a body language professional, shared her insights with Fox News Digital following Harris’s interview on CNN alongside her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
Constantine observed that Harris often looked down while answering questions, which she believes detracts from her authority and authenticity.

“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.”
The interview, conducted in Savannah, Georgia, presented Harris with an opportunity to outline her agenda for day one if elected.
However, Harris’s responses were described as general rather than specific, which Constantine interpreted as a lack of preparedness. “When she struggles, you start to see a lot of the head bobbling. You know, the head bobbling is ‘what part of the file in my subconscious am I going to pull out? Which ones are my answers?’ She couldn’t come up with a crystal clear answer, and that’s why she tends to bobble,” explained Constantine.
According to Constantine, these physical cues, such as bobbling the head and breaking eye contact, suggest that Harris was not fully prepared and lacked confidence in her responses. “When you bobble and waffle like that, that’s another signal that she’s not really… prepared. She doesn’t really have confidence in her own answers. When you’re breaking gaze, that is a form of deflection,” she said. “So when you’re removing an eye gaze, not making good eye contact, it’s just showing me that she’s not confident in what she’s saying.”

The dynamic between Harris and Walz during the interview also drew attention from Constantine. She pointed out that Harris seemed to be seeking validation from Walz, who appeared more composed. “She is looking for that signal from Walz to see if he’s on board. Many times when we see him, he’s got the pressed lips — that tends to be a more serious, more collected, expression in his mouth,” Constantine commented.
Byron Donald also called out Kamala’s body language. Watch:

The body language expert concluded her analysis with a pointed piece of advice for Harris, reflecting on the expectations of leadership appearance. “Overall, you know, 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,” Constantine remarked. “And she doesn’t at this time.”

I have read the VP KH fears men. One has to wonder what man may have treated her poorly. WB?
Willy?
Anyone that uses “bobble” more than 3 times in a sentence (or in a minute,) and I don’t care what type of expert she is (and yes, Obamala DOES bobble…) and I kind of, tune her out.
Everyone know why her head bobbles. She’s used to suckin D!cK!! That’s her natural position!!
