A mistrial would get the Dems out of this mess. It would also mean they could bring Trump to trial again later if the election starts to look tight.

Doesn’t “no double jeopardy”/”can’t be tried again for the same offense” apply here?

A case ended by mistrial can be retried. If that happens Merchan should grant a change of venue, but he won't, because he doesn't care about the 6th amendment.
