Many didn't need an expert to notice.
What came to my mind was that she was desperate for a drink, she had that 'look' about her that an alcoholic gets when they need the booze.
She is unfit for any office.

Body language experts found that during Vice President Kamala Harrisâ first media interview since announcing her candidacy for president this summer, she was "uncomfortable," "hollow," and not confident in her answers.
Harris and Walz sat down for a joint interview with CNNâs Dana Bash on Thursday where the Democratic presidential nominee discussed her first priorities for day one in office if she's elected to the White House in November, her changing positions on policy issues, and her running mateâs military service record. Upon analyzing the interview, body language experts found that Harris was struggling to answer questions and sometimes appeared to be dishonest in her responses.
Greg Hartley, a former interrogator in the U.S. Army, told Just the News on Friday that Harris was âoverprepared for sure,â as anyone would be âfor this role.â
âThis is an abrupt change,â Hartley said, noting that her âfirst comments are gonna be scrutinized by everyone.â
During the interview, Bash mentioned former President Donald Trumpâs suggestion that she âhappened to turn Black.â Harris answered, âSame old, tired playbook. Next question, please.â
Hartley explained that âwhen she avoided the Trump question,â her body language changed as she broke eye contact and wanted âto say somethingâ but was likely prepped to avoid responding to Trump on his level.
He added that when people look âdown and right,â itâs an âemotional access cue,â whereas looking âdown and to left is internal voice,â when they are trying to figure out âhow to navigate what to say here.â
Thus, when Harris looked down and right after the Trump question, it was about thinking what not to say, while looking down and left was how to navigate language, Hartley said.
She was âprepped a lot to not engage,â he added, and ârun on not being Trump,â because otherwise, she had âno content.â
âSheâs hollow,â Hartley said.
âIf a person says one thing on Tuesday, another on Wednesday, then mentions their moral compass but doesnât explain it or why they changed, you should question their sincerity,â he noted.
Hartley also discussed how both Harris and Walz would âchaff and redirect,â where they would âspout enough words about something not related to the topic to get to a line of topic to veer awayâ from the question.
He added that Walz was âuncomfortableâ about how his military record has come out.
Hartley is an Army veteran and said that he is ânot a fan of anyoneâ targeting a veteranâs service, while also noting that Walz was âdeceptive about his rank when he leftâ the National Guard.
He said that Walz was at the interview to put Harris at ease and to âshow solidarity.â
Hartley explained that Harris is âpredictable when sheâs uncomfortable,â as she smiles, laughs, nods, and speaks in a âword salad.â She has âno content at all,â he added.
Harris is ânot good atâ chaff and redirect, Hartley said, adding that she goes into âfight or flightâ when she's uncomfortable and cackles.
Instead of playing into the politics of it, he said that people should ask themselves, âIf this is the person youâre leaving your children with, how would you feel? Would you trust that they know what they're doing?â
Body language expert Susan Constantine told Fox News on Friday that Harris didnât look confident during the interview.
"When I look at her overall demeanor, she does not carry the confidence or the presidential appearance in her demeanor to command in her position," Constantine said. "So for everything that I saw last night, she definitely needs to make some tweaks into 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," she added.
"When she struggles, you start to see a lot of the head bobbling. You know, the head bobbling is âwhat part of the file in my subconscious am I going to pull out? Which ones are my answers?â" Constantine noted. "She couldn't come up with a crystal clear answer, and that's why she tends to bobble."
"When you bobble and waffle like that," she continued, "that's another signal that she's not really... prepared. She doesn't really have confidence in her own answers."
Scott Rouse, another body language expert, told Newsmax on Thursday that Harris had a âbobbleheadâ motion as she talked.
He explained that this âindicated that she had inner dialogue going on. We see tons of that with both of them, with Kamala and Walz. We see that inner dialogue, just thinking about what they're gonna say next.â
Rouse added that this conversation Harris had with Bash âis one of the ones where she's sort of on the fly, making this up as she goes.â
He also said that when Harris discussed what she thought when she found out that President Joe Biden was dropping out of the race, âWe're hearing what we call âfading facts.â As she talks, she gets quieter and quieter; she talks about how she was concerned with him. And quite often when someone's being deceptive, theyâll get quieter as they get to their answer... we hear that here big time. And we don't see any of the cues that let us know she's actually being sad, this is a put-on sad face.â
Meanwhile, Judi James, a communication and body language analyst, told The Daily Mail on Friday that Harris answered questions with a âtone of curt decisiveness,â as she embraced a ânew look of direct answers and power poses.â
However, when Harris was asked about her position changing on key issues, she risked being âknocked-off balance,â James explained. âShe reels back in her seat and her eyes drop down in a cut-off as though unaware that relevant point would be raised,â she added.
James said that Harrisâ reaction to Trump appears sheâs acting âas though he were still in office and she the opposition. When asked what she would do on her first day in the White House her body language seems to suggest she has not set foot in the place so far,â she explained.
Body language experts say CNN interview suggests Harris was 'uncomfortable,' 'hollow,' 'insincere'
Military interrogators, detectives and psychologists use facial expressions and body movement to understand what may be going on in a subject's head. The Democratic presidential nominee goes into âfight or flightâ when she's uncomfortable and cackles, Greg Hartley said.
