Trump's facial expressions were mocked by Harris during the debate, with some viewers finding them fake and weak.
Trump's speech was met with a dramatic eye roll or furrowed brow from Harris.
During the ABC News Presidential Debate on Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris was criticized on social media for her over-the-top facial expressions.
During the debate, Trump's smirk was frequently shown on the split screen while he answered questions from the moderators. The microphones of both candidates were muted when the other was given time to speak, a rule that the Harris campaign had attempted to alter. As a result, Harris was left to rely solely on her facial expressions to convey her disdain for the Republican nominee.
Harris displayed a range of facial expressions during her debates with Trump, including rolling her eyes, furrowing her brow, and squinting at him. She also laughed or mocked his responses with exaggerated smiles.
Social media users quickly mocked her numerous expressions, with some claiming they reflected her anxiety and unease while performing, while others criticized them as staged and "emotional."
Miranda Devine, a New York Post columnist, wrote that Kamala Harris appears to be performing rehearsed routines rather than answering questions. She also exaggerates her facial expressions when Trump speaks, giving the impression of being fake and weak.
Pollster Frank Luntz wrote: "On content, Harris is winning. Visually, she's hurting herself. #Debate2024."
Ryan Saavedra, a senior reporter for Daily Wire, criticized Kamala Harris' facial expressions during the debate, stating that they were exaggerated and conveyed a sense of dishonesty and nervousness.
Aisha Hasnie, a Planet Chronicle congressional correspondent, stated that so far, HARRIS is making more faces than TRUMP on the split screen. She is unsure how this will resonate with voters.
Conservative writer Carmine Sabia stated that Kamala Harris has been excessively coached on displaying facial expressions due to the muted microphones, which makes the situation uncomfortable and strange.
Journalist Ian Miles Cheong stated, "Kamala Harris should have taken more acting classes. Her facial expressions reveal only slightly concealed anxiety."
Ford O'Connell, a conservative media personality, agreed that the split screen during the #Debate2024 is hurting Kamala Harris because her facial expressions indicate disbelief that her debate coaches did not focus on that.
Tudor Dixon, a former Michigan gubernatorial candidate, joked that her children exhibit the same facial expressions as Kamala Harris when they get into trouble.
Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America and Students for Life Action, stated that Harris only has smug TikTok ready facial expressions and friendly moderators going for her tonight. All her answers are canned and fake.
During the 2020 vice presidential debate, Harris exhibited several of the same expressions that gained popularity online.
