It doesn’t take an expert to see that Kamala Harris was out of her element during her softball interview with CNN. After weeks of avoiding interviews and press conferences, she finally agreed to sit down with a friendly network and a supportive host—but even then, she needed her male running mate by her side.
Unsurprisingly, a body language expert who analyzed Kamala’s performance during the interview told Fox News Digital that Harris lacked both confidence and a presidential demeanor.
According to Susan Constantine, Harris frequently looked down during the CNN interview, which suggested she was “not confident in what she’s saying.” Constantine pointed out that Harris failed to project the “presidential appearance” needed to command her position, saying, “She definitely needs to make some tweaks to her body language to appear more confident.”
“The fact that she’s looking down a lot removes a lot of the fluidity and the authenticity,” Constantine added.
Throughout the interview, Constantine observed that Harris struggled to deliver clear answers, particularly when asked about her “day one” agenda. This led to what Constantine described as “head bobbling,” a sign that Harris was searching for the right answers but couldn’t deliver them with confidence.
“When you bobble and waffle like that, that’s another signal that she’s not really… prepared.” Constantine also noted Harris’s tendency to break eye contact, which she described as “a form of deflection,” further indicating a lack of confidence.
“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.”
Moreover, Harris appeared to lean heavily on Walz for emotional support. Constantine observed that Harris was “consistently looking for acknowledgment” from Walz, which she suggested undermined Harris’s authority.
“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,” Constantine explained.
“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 concluded. “And she doesn’t at this time.”
Greg Hartley, a former U.S. Army interrogator, shared similar views in an interview with Just the News. Hartley noted how Kamala frequently broke eye contact, explaining that looking “down and right” is an “emotional access cue,” while “down and to left” indicates internal reflection, suggesting Harris was thinking about what not to say. He added that she was “prepped a lot to not engage” and to focus on “not being Trump” because she had “no content.” He bluntly stated, “She’s hollow.”
Hartley also criticized Harris and Tim Walz’s tendency to “chaff and redirect”—talking at length about unrelated topics to avoid tough questions. He mentioned that Walz appeared “uncomfortable” about how his military record was being scrutinized and noted his “deceptive” behavior regarding his rank when leaving the National Guard.
Hartley also described Harris as “predictable when she’s uncomfortable,” pointing out her tendency to smile, laugh, nod, and speak in a “word salad.” He added, “She has no content at all,” and noted that Harris isn’t effective at “chaff and redirect,” often resorting to cackling when under pressure.
And this was during a softball interview.
