The Democrats' unity tour fractured into disunity almost immediately after it began. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont refused to say whether Jon Ossoff, the Democratic candidate trying to win a typically Republican district in Georgia while being outspoken in support of abortion rights, counts as a progressive.

Mr. Mello, who is running for mayor in Omaha, has sponsored legislation aimed at restricting women's access to abortion, including a bill in 2009 that required women to be informed that they could look at ultrasounds of their fetuses.
