Gov. Kathy Hochul is speaking at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next week.

It’s a coveted spot that is sure to put a spotlight on New York.

“I’ve been honored to accept the invitation to appear Monday night,” Hochul said Thursday at a Midtown Manhattan press briefing. “Biden will be there, and Hillary Clinton and I’m really, really honored that they selected me to be on that night.”

Tapped to address a crowd of national Democrats by the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz campaign, Hochul will soon be on the big stage.

Hochul quickly shifted her support to Vice President Kamala Harris last month. Now, she’ll lead one of the largest Democratic delegations in officially crowning Harris’ bid.

“Getting the opportunity to speak on the first night of the convention is like batting leadoff [for] Aaron Judge. It’s an amazing place to be in,” Austin Shafran, a Democratic consultant, said.

New York’s 307 delegates have packed daily schedules. Hochul also organized a boat ride Monday on Lake Michigan — all before they’re called to hear from national Democrats — and eventually, the nominee herself.

“There are comparisons in the careers recently, of the Democratic nominee for president and the sitting governor in New York, having both been in the number two position and then having to ascend to the chief executive role. That’s what Hochul has done, that’s what Harris aspires to be,” Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, told NY1.

Democrats are eyeing nearly half a dozen Republican-held New York congressional seats to win control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

“You want to keep the audience with you, so I think you might want to talk more about the advances women have made in politics, her role in that regard in New York,” said Miringoff.

“The immigration issue is one that the Democrats have to cover and advance and maybe even reverse,” he added. “If you’re going to talk about immigration, you’re gonna talk about it in the way that maybe Mario Cuomo used to talk about it in terms of all the different groups who’ve come to America.”

Political consultant Austin Shafran says Democrats need to focus on unifying the party.

“Now, the Israel-Hamas issue has certainly come to the forefront, and it has the ability to drive a wedge in the Democratic Party. That being said, if we’re able to keep toward the common goal of preventing Donald Trump from getting another four years,” he said. “Once you get in the ballot box, we still need you to pull a lever for a Democrat.”

Other New Yorkers who are expected to speak include Hillary Clinton, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Congressman Tom Suozzi and Councilman Yusuf Salaam.
