BROOKLYN — Hillary Clinton is headed back to the Brooklyn Navy Yard in what could be a victory lap for the Democratic front runner.

Clinton will speak Tuesday night at the Navy Yard’s Duggal Greenhouse — where she sparred with opponent Bernie Sanders in a debate two months ago — as six states wrap up their primaries. 

She is widely expected to secure the nomination Tuesday when voters hit the polls in California, New Jersey, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and New Mexico.

Following Sunday’s primary in Puerto Rico, Clinton is fewer than 30 delegates shy of the 2,383 needed — including superdelegates — to become the party’s nominee, according to several reports.

Clinton will speak about her plans to “break down the barriers that hold families back” and to build “ladders of opportunity for all Americans” at the event, according to the announcement. 

Tuesday also marks eight years to the day that Clinton conceded the nomination to Barack Obama, according to ABC News.

Doors to Tuesday’s primary speech will open at 6 p.m. To RSVP, click here.  

A primary watch party will follow Clinton’s speech at Branded Saloon, 603 Vanderbilt Ave. in Prospect Heights, from 8:30 p.m. to 1 a.m.
