Debate Dynamics and Performance Pressure
Kamala Harris faced significant pressure to establish herself to a large portion of the American electorate who desired to know more about her. She needed to effectively react to Donald Trump's strategies while ensuring that her responses were memorable and captured attention for social media. Harris' self-awareness became apparent as she used facial expressions and direct camera engagement to establish rapport with voters, although this self-awareness sometimes gave off a scripted vibe. In contrast, Trump was under pressure to avoid major blunders, which shifted the focus to how he attempted to maintain composure while responding to Harris's provocations.
