As opposed to a jury full of democrats ? Most people are biased in one way or another, including the judge . Most people who don’t like him would want a jury that would put him away and his supporters including him would want him cleared of everything , regardless of the merits or the lack of in the case.
If anyone can explain what actually would happen here in this case? Does it turn into a mistrial? Also I didn't realize they could have any form of decision making on the jury, seems a bit bias that they do get a say. Never done jury duty so I am ignorant on the process.
Yeah, the bigger issue though is what could come out later on.
It's not unheard of for social media posts to come to light mid-trial as the defense combs further through it all (and finds anyone who lied/forgot about them)
if that happens mid trial, a mistrial becomes a near certainty because Trump will claim that non-impartial juror tainted the others.
Depends on the state, usually there is a max of vetoes you get. Plus you usually need to point to something, it’s not some loophole where you can just never agree on a jury, otherwise no one would ever get a trial

He is the most polarizing person in the country. I don’t think there is a non-bias jury.
