Over the course of the last week, we’ve witnessed an unprecedented event in U.S. history: For the first time, a woman of color has been nominated as a main party vice presidential candidate. What’s more, this groundbreaking event took place at our nation’s first almost-all-virtual presidential nominating convention (sorry about your luck, Milwaukee). So how does Kamala Harris really feel about her nomination to the second-highest office in the land?
We spoke with body language expert Dr. Renée Carr, a psychologist, as well as a political and corporate advisor, and asked her to analyze Harris’ appearance at two recent events. Her takeaway was that Harris’ posture and actions speak volumes about her (a legs crossed/arms wrapped sitting position indicating she “embraces her femininity yet exudes a strength that is unwavering”) and about her relationships (a giggly demonstration of love for her hubby and teary-eyed recollections of her friend Beau Biden). But Harris’ obvious excitement at being nominated as the Democratic vice-presidential candidate is what her body language seems to be expressing most clearly.

Well, who could blame her? Chances are we’re all going to be doing some fidgeting as the election draws closer. And should the Biden/Harris team bring home a win, we wouldn’t be surprised if Harris were to break composure and start outright jumping for joy.
