Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak has snagged a speaking role at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte. The DNC will announce Rybak's speaking role later today, but the speaking gig was confirmed by a Rybak aide.

Rybak is a vice chair of the DNC and has been a vocal backer of President Obama. The date, time and topic for Rybak's speech are still being worked out.

Democrats will gather in Charlotte from Sept. 4 through Sept. 6. Their main order of business will be to nominate President Obama for reelection.
