Basically they said something like _“Congratulations!!- and we HOPE you will give us interviews, unlike your predecessor”._ I read that as a threat. Then they followed it up a little bit later with "_Why Hasn’t Harris given any interviews? What is she trying to hide"?_ or similar terms.

_"It’s also an opportunity, following a month of rallies and campaign speeches, for the pair to tell a deeper story about themselves and their vision._

_But getting them to do that might not be easy."._

Absolutely.
