Vice President Kamala Harris radiated positivity during her speech at Howard University, but a body language expert suggests she was fighting back disgust. Human behavior and body language expert Mark Bowden meticulously scrutinized Harris’s speech, highlighting that her actions were possibly more telling than her spoken words.
He said she displayed a winner’s confidence upon entry with an array of smiles, waves, and applause. “Harris enters with a confident stride, exuding positivity with smiles, waves, and clapping – projecting the demeanor of a victor rather than one defeated,” stated Bowden.
Her connection with the audience was helped by classic politician mannerisms like pointing, smiling, and the heartwarming hand-over-heart, reports the Irish Star.

Beyond the veneer of control, Bowden detected a hint of disdain for the situation.
