Inside Kamala Harris' fast Arizona trip after abortion ruling

• She will use the Tucson trip to lay the state court's decision, which effectively bans abortion, at the feet of former President Trump.
• The Biden campaign is showing that it can be nimble — and quick — in responding to court cases as it works to leverage its perceived advantage on abortion.

What we're hearing: Harris' team had been planning an Arizona trip for weeks, but late last week, her advisers got wind of the timing of the state Supreme Court decision.

• At a scheduling meeting last Friday, Harris told her team that it should seize the opportunity, according to a person familiar with the matter.
• She wanted the focus of her Tucson remarks to be reproductive rights. She also instructed her team to make the trip an official campaign one.
• That designation will allow Harris to go further politically — and repeatedly attack Trump by name — than if she were on official business.

The intrigue: On Monday, the Arizona Supreme Court advised that it would release its abortion decision on Tuesday.

• That gave Harris and her team time to prepare two statements and give the Arizona Republic a heads-up about her visit.
• An hour after the court dropped its decision, the newspaper had a story up, previewing the vice president's trip.

Flashback: Harris has been taking the lead to make the abortion case directly to the American people.

• She used a visit to Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in St. Paul, Minnesota, last month to warn of conservative "extremists," but she didn't mention Republicans or Trump by name.
