Ms. Klobuchar, who stumbled in an interview with Telemundo last week when she could not name the president of Mexico, released a Spanish-language ad touting her ability to defeat Mr. Trump and her endorsement by The Las Vegas Sun (one shared with Mr. Biden).

Ms. Klobuchar, who campaigned at several stops in Nevada over the weekend, was holding a campaign fund-raiser Monday night in Los Angeles.

At his California rally, Mr. Sanders also took on his other critics in the party. “The Democratic establishment is getting nervous,” he said. “They say, ‘Oh, Bernie can’t win the election.’ Take a look at this crowd today.”

“What the establishment is trembling about right now — they are crying on television — what they are trembling in fear for is that working people are standing up demanding decent wages,” he added.

Mr. Sanders made his remarks at the former Ford Assembly Plant in Richmond, an automotive factory that was shuttered in 1955, to a crowd of more than 6,000 attendees. Thousands more crowded outside and watched through the building’s glass walls.

Mr. Sanders addressed the region’s housing crisis and high rates of homelessness. “It is a moral obscenity that in our country tonight, 500,000 people will sleep out on the streets,” he said. “Together we end that obscenity.”

As early voting sites opened in Las Vegas on Monday, Senator Jacky Rosen, Democrat of Nevada, joined a line of more than 50 people and waited to cast her vote. Ms. Rosen — who defeated a Republican incumbent in 2018 with the help of endorsements from Mr. Biden, Mr. Sanders and Ms. Warren — declined to indicate whom she favored.
