The highly anticipated debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump was a heated matchup that revealed their plans for America's future, if elected.
The Democratic U.S. Vice-President and Republican former U.S. president traded remarks in a presidential debate Tuesday night about America's economy, immigration and reproductive rights, as well as their respective records in the White House.
Here's what experts who analyzed the exchange had to say:
Early in the debate, one expert noted that while Harris may have looked "under stress" at first, she quickly regained her composure and projected a confident presence.
"She gave strong and very symmetrical gestures right down the camera," said Tracey Thomson, a body language expert at TruthPlane, in an interview with CTVNews.ca Wednesday.
"She was really appealing to public with good eye contact."
Thomson highlighted Harris' ability to seamlessly transition between addressing Trump and turning to the camera to connect with the audience directly.
