  1. Debate Begins: JD Vance and Tim Walz take the stage for the Vice Presidential debate.
  2. Vance's Deceptions: Throughout the debate, JD Vance displays deceptive body language, particularly when discussing his past support for Donald Trump and his policies.
  • Eye Blocking: Vance closes his eyes longer than a normal blink when confronted with questions about Trump's fitness for office, past failures to deliver on promises, and the need for Americans to trust Vance to advise Trump appropriately.
  • "Accordion" Gesture: When admitting he was wrong about some of his past beliefs, Vance utilizes a modified version of Trump's "accordion" hand gesture, indicating an attempt to contain a complex issue.
  • Mispronunciation: Vance mispronounces the word "dishonest" while discussing reports he previously believed, suggesting deception as word error rate is a high indicator.
  • Stress Indicators: His blink rate increases significantly when discussing "delivered" and "increased take-home pay," further pointing to stress and potential deception.
  • "Stop" Gesture: When discussing consistency, Vance uses a universal "stop" gesture, indicating a desire to avoid the topic. He then deflects blame to Congress.
  1. Walz's Emotional Display: Tim Walz exhibits a unique combination of sadness and fear throughout the debate, particularly when under pressure.
  • Sadness Indicators: Walz's sadness is evident through the upturned tips of his eyebrows above the bridge of his nose.
  • Fear Indicators: He displays fear through wide eyes, rapid movements, and a panicked look. This is particularly evident when he looks to the moderators for help.
  • "Deer in the Headlights" Look: The combination of sadness and fear results in a noticeable "deer in the headlights" look, highlighting his struggle under pressure.
  • Disbelief in Own Words: At one point, Walz shrugs one shoulder while pointing his chin towards it, indicating disbelief or lack of conviction in his own words.
  1. Debate Concludes: The debate ends with both candidates having displayed telling body language cues.
