KMT Chairman Cheng Lai-wen presided over the National Day flag-raising ceremony in the Kaohsiung Fruit Trade Community. She criticized the ruling party for being hijacked by the new trend and called on voters to turn Kaohsiung over in the local elections on November 28 and reject the new trend to prevent the future of Taiwan and Kaohsiung from being affected by it.

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan said in an interview today that everyone has their own choice and citizens have their own public comment, responding to the position of DPP Taipei mayor candidate Shen Boyang that he will not resign as a legislator before the election. Shen Boyang emphasized that the mayor of Taipei must have ability, execution and vision. Whether or not he resigns has nothing to do with it, and his courage does not need to be proven by resigning as a legislator.

In his speech at the National Day Convention, Legislative President Han Kuo-yu criticized the recall as a political hunt, saying that Lai Qingde's political mysophobia led to the insolvable confrontation between the two chambers. Zhuang Ruixiong, director of the Legislative Yuan Caucus of the Democratic Progressive Party, questioned whether his remarks were igniting fires rather than extinguishing them. He called on National Day to unite people instead of political criticism, and emphasized that people's livelihood issues should be focused on rather than people's nationality arrangements.

U.S. President Trump announced the appointment of conservative commentator and lawyer Kezzakaria as the new White House Press Secretary to replace Leavitt, who resigned in late August. Zakaria is a mother of four children who now lives in California. She once served as a senior communications adviser to Trump’s media and technology group, and often defended Trump’s policies in conservative media such as Fox News and Newsmax. This personnel adjustment occurred at a time when the U.S. midterm elections are heating up. Trump has publicly complained that the government's propaganda effectiveness is extremely poor.

Hsinchu County Mayor Yang Wenke announced at the National Day flag-raising ceremony that the "Good Pregnancy Program" subsidy upgrade will be retroactive to eligible pregnant women's applications starting from January 1 this year, with a maximum subsidy of 20,000 yuan, and explained the payment method in installments and the deadline for replacement until December 31.

Legislative President Han Kuo-yu accused President Lai Ching-te of political mystique and his inability to resolve the opposition between the legislative and executive bodies at the National Day Convention, and questioned Executive President Toh Wing-tai's failure to countersign the legislation passed by the Legislative Council. Executive Yuan spokesperson Li Huizhi responded by emphasizing that the executive and the legislative are both constitutional organs and should respect the constitutional powers and jointly maintain the constitutional order. No party should cross the boundaries of the constitution or stigmatize the constitutional mechanism for political offense and defense. She further explained that among the eight laws that the Executive Yuan did not countersign in the past, three cases were to prevent the party, government and military from intervening in the media. The contents of two cases were unconstitutional, two cases infringed on the budget power of the Executive Yuan and violated the separation of powers, and one case was an attempt to exonerate criminals by fraudulently claiming assistant fees, which may cause loopholes in the criminal law. As the guardian of the Constitution, the Executive Yuan must be passively defensive to maintain constitutional order.
