The Obama campaign, as well as former President Bill Clinton, say the New York Democrat must do well in Texas and Ohio on March 4 if she is to continue to battle for the Democratic nomination.
Voters in Vermont and Rhode Island will also head to the polls next Tuesday.
The Clinton campaign Friday launched a new television ad in Texas that portrays its candidate as the best-prepared to take on foreign crises.
In the ad, a phone rings insistently over images of sleeping children.
"Your vote will decide who answers the call," the ad's narrator says. "Whether it's someone who already knows the world's leaders, knows the military. Someone tested and ready to lead in a dangerous world."
The ad's narrator then asks, "Who do you want answering the phone [at 3 a.m.]
picked up the ad's theme while on the campaign trail in Waco, Texas, on Friday.
"I also understand completely what it means when that phone rings at 3 a.m. There isn't any time to convene advisers, to do a survey about what will or will not be popular. You have to make a decision," she said.
