CLEVELAND (JTA) — Bernie Sanders will be a keynote speaker at the Democratic convention.

Sanders, the Independent senator from Vermont and the first Jewish candidate to win major party nominating contests, will speak the first night, Monday, July 26, along with Michelle Obama, the first lady.

Sanders last week endorsed Hillary Clinton, the nominee. A prime speaking slot was one of his conditions for the endorsement, as well as the inclusion in the platform of some of his campaign planks, including a $15 minimum wage, Wall Street regulatory reforms and an overhaul of campaign finance.

Also speaking, according to the convention press office, are President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and former president Bill Clinton. Hillary Clinton and Chelsea Clinton will speak Thursday July 29, the last night of the convention.

Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of Hillary and Bill Clinton, gave birth last month to her second child. Her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, is Jewish.
