Body language experts detail all the ‘gestures’ that may have lost Kamala Harris the election
Body language experts have shared the “gestures” that may have lost Kamala Harris the presidential election — from her pose that “implied inner weakness” to her “passive-aggressive and sarcastic grin.”
Kamala, 60, has spent the past four months campaigning across the country in a bid to become the 47th president of the United States.
But on Tuesday it was announced that she had lost to Donald Trump – and according to British body language analyst Judi James, some of her moves may have turned off voters.
She analyzed the methods used by Kamala during her campaign exclusively for DailyMail.com, and analyzed which ones may have contributed to her ‘downfall’.
Judi noted that the public tends to ‘distrust’ someone who gives the impression of ‘doing well’, but will lean towards ‘someone who is flawed’. That’s why some people may be more attracted to Donald, 78, than Kamala.

“Our subconscious picks up on a lot of non-verbal qualities, adds them to the verbal message and starts to draw conclusions,” she explained.
‘Sensation is a big factor in the success or failure of elections. A political leader must in some way give us the feeling that we can win our vote.’

Judi explained that Kamala’s attitude may have “implied inner weakness or a lack of resolve.”
She pointed out that the vice president often used the “broken wing wrist position,” in which a person’s “hand hangs from bent, weak-looking wrists.”
“When we see our politicians looking powerful and strong, we like to see an expansion of power that takes the line of power from the chest and the shoulder to the fingertips,” says Judi.
“She often looked as if she was drying her nail polish, when she should have used fist or club rituals to imply authentic knowledge and power.”
The expert pointed out that Kamala often took “long pauses” during her speeches to “look around at the audience” – a “technique often used by great speakers” to warn people that “something very big would come out of their mouths.” come. ‘
But Judi said Kamala would often fail to follow the step up with something “profound” — and she theorized that her incorrect use of the gesture might have ultimately made her “messages” seem “incongruent.”
She analyzed the mannerisms Kamala used during her campaign exclusively for DailyMail.com, and analyzed which ones may have contributed to her ‘downfall’.
Judi explained that Kamala’s posture may have “implied inner weakness,” adding, “She often looked like she was drying her nail polish when she should have been using her fists.”
Judi also claimed that Kamala’s interactions with her husband, Doug Emhoff, were a “low point,” explaining, “Doug’s nonverbal defined him as a dominant alpha male.”
“Kamala likes word salads and speaks a lot of dialogue that barely comes to a point,” she said.
‘The mix of ‘important’ body language and word salads started to feel like cheating. When we sense a discrepancy, we seek clarification, or we simply turn away.”
Judi also claimed that Kamala’s interactions with her husband, Doug Emhoff, were a “rock bottom.”
“Doug’s nonverbal nature defined him as a dominant alpha male who came to congratulate his wife, but also took control,” she analyzed.
“His protective arm around her shoulders, his puffed chest and the way he led her across the stage as if she were on loan.
“For her last speech, he even bent an arm so they walked away with her, as if he were taking her to her retirement.”
During the debate between Donald and Kamala in September, the vice president was often seen laughing outwardly at the claims he made.
And Judi added that laughter can cause ‘negative reactions’ from viewers if used at the wrong time.

“Laughing too much and too often when your audience feels like they are suffering will generate negative reactions,” she warned.
‘A reputation for humor can be a positive attribute, but the visual illustration of that sense of humor must be used wisely.’
A second body language expert is mentioned Jamie Wall also spoke to DailyMail.com about Kamala’s moves, and she echoed Judi’s claims.

Jamie theorized that the 60-year-old was “trying to use humor to diffuse tension,” but added that laughter can “create an emotional imbalance” and “undermine important topics” if used at the wrong time.
He also pointed out that Kamala often had a “sarcastic grin” on her face when referring to her competitor, which he said may have turned some people off.
“Excessive sarcasm can create a negative atmosphere, making interactions feel passive-aggressive,” he said.
Additionally, Jamie noted that Kamala often rested her chin on her hand, which he said made her appear “questionable on the subject.”
“When negotiating or discussing, it is crucial to be aware of how such non-verbal cues can be interpreted,” he added.
‘Use this gesture thoughtfully. While it can indicate critical thinking, it can also suggest uncertainty, which can affect the overall tone of the conversation.”
