Kamala Harris’ face game was on point at the Trump debate

She also made it a point to play the split screen, sometimes outright laughing at a visibly angry Trump.

At one point, when Trump claimed that Harris’ father was a “Marxist professor,” she broke into a big smile and laughed.

Users on X were quick to comment on the expressions, with new memes appearing in less than 30 minutes of the debate.

Harris’ face game is a stark contrast to President Joe Biden’s performance during his June debate with Trump.

During that debate, Biden’s loose, slack-jawed facial expressions sparked a wave of memes on social media.

“It was not the president’s finest hour. He primarily played on his opponent’s accusations of weakness, and people often view a leader’s speaking performance as a shorthand for their leadership style,” Paul Falzon, a 20-year-old speech and presentation coach in Singapore. years of experience, BI said at the time.

Biden’s free-spirited appearance was also mocked for being a “resting face of the 25th Amendment” by “The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart.

“I’m no political expert, but while Biden was gearing up at Camp David for a week, did anyone mention he’d also be on camera on split screen?” the “Late Daily Show” host said on a June episode.

For what it’s worth, the split-screen format has also helped candidates, including Biden, in the past. In 2020, Biden managed to create a strong – and positive – contrast between himself and Trump.

Representatives for Trump and Harris did not immediately respond to Business Insider’s request for comment.
