Quibi CEO Meg Whitman will get a quick bit of the spotlight at the Democratic National Convention Monday night, the DNC has announced.

Whitman is one of several current and former Republicans who oppose Trump slated to speak at the DNC Monday. Others include former Ohio Gov. John Kasich and former Rep. Susan Molinari, a New York Republican who later served as a Google VP.

It's not her first foray into politics — Whitman was the Republican Party's nominee for governor of California in 2010, but was defeated in the general election that year by Democrat Jerry Brown.

The DNC speaker list bills Whitman as the former CEO of HP, making no mention of Quibi. Alongside Jeffrey Katzenberg, Whitman has served as a public face of Quibi since its launch in April, during which the streaming startup has struggled to amass a sizeable audience.

Anti-Trump Republicans were invited to speak at the DNC as a show of unity, but it's unclear whether the likes of Whitman will be eagerly received by DNC viewers. In a CBS poll of Democrats from Aug. 12-14, 62% of respondents said they do not want to hear Kasich speak at the convention.
