Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass asked the prospective juror whether anyone felt the prosecutors should have to prove more because of former President Donald Trump's position. He specifically asked this juror now in question.
"I don’t think it matters what my political beliefs are," she said in response.
Donald Trump's attorneys are seeking to have the first juror dismissed for cause — which, if successful, means they would not have to use one of their 10 strikes.
Attorney Todd Blanche argued it was important enough to the prospective juror when Trump lost the election to take a video and join in a celebration of his loss.
Judge Juan Merchan asked to see the video in question for context.
Trump's attorney is drilling down on a post from one juror about being in a car "spreading the honking cheer" on Election Day 2020 or when Biden was declared the winner.
Blanche said when the juror was asked if anything should be known about her opinion of Trump, she said no.
Prosecutors and Donald Trump's lawyers are now beginning the process of using their preemptive strikes.
Each side has 10 strikes they can use. If either team chooses to use one of their 10 strikes, the potential juror is removed.
Prosecutors said they would not use any strikes against the first 12 jurors seated in the box.

Right now, he's seeking to have the first juror dismissed for cause — which, if successful, means the defense would not have to use one of its 10 strikes.
The Facebook post that Judge Juan Merchan is reviewing appears to be from 2020, where the potential juror is in a Facebook post about being in a car "spreading the honking cheer" on the date of the election or the day that President Joe Biden was declared the winner.
"I’m trying to understand what I’m looking at here; how does it call into question what the juror said?" Merchan asked.

However, Trump attorney Todd Blanche is challenging the prospective juror in seat 1 for cause.
"Juror No. 1 has a series of extraordinarily hostile Facebook posts," he said.
Former President Donald Trump's attorney Todd Blanche said that there are social media posts from potential jurors that are "very much contrary" to the answers they have given.
Blanche has not offered any specifics yet.
