Former President Donald Trump demonstrated signs of being rattled during his first debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. Despite initially focusing on the economy, Harris seemed to get under his skin with her incredulous expressions and direct eye contact. Harris took a more assertive approach, walking into Trump’s space and utilizing body language to communicate with the audience, in contrast to Biden’s struggling performance in a prior debate. Harris made a conscious effort to look directly at the camera while speaking, emphasizing her message that Trump is self-serving and she is focused on moving forward. Trump, on the other hand, appeared to grow agitated and veered off topic, making baseless claims about Haitian immigrants and accusing Harris of paying people to attend her rallies without evidence. At one point, Trump referenced a previous debate moment involving Harris and Vice President Mike Pence, suggesting that she was interrupting him. Overall, the debate highlighted Harris’ more composed and strategic communication style, contrasting with Trump’s tendency to become defensive and resort to unfounded accusations.
