VIEWERS pointed out empty seats on night one of the Democratic National Convention as President Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton are scheduled to appear.

The four-night convention began on Monday in Chicago's United Center, which boasts a capacity of 23,500, however, viewers shared photos on social media of an empty arena.

Conservative YouTuber Blaire White slammed the event, claiming that there were "more people outside protesting the DNC than people inside."

"I'm sorry, but this is not the turnout or support level of a party that can actually win," she said.

Podcaster Cash Loren tweeted that several seats remained empty even as main speakers took the stage.

"Thousands of protestors march outside the DNC while many seats remain open inside," he said, referring to Pro-Palestinian protesters marching outside the United Center.

"The Democrat protestors breached the outside gate earlier to make it to the DNC. They are demanding to end aid to Israel and stop the war in Gaza.

"Meanwhile, many seats on the inside are vacant, even as the main speakers take the stage."
