A "Mirror News" poll showed that New Taipei mayor candidate Su Qiaohui of the Democratic Progressive Party led the KMT candidate Li Sichuan by 14.9 percentage points. Li Sichuan's campaign office responded that internal polls were still leading steadily, criticized the Soviet camp for being arrogant, and called on citizens to vote for Li Sichuan on November 28.

The Democratic Party regained control of the House of Representatives and the Senate in the U.S. midterm elections and made surprising gains by penetrating into the traditional Republican vote base. Voters are dissatisfied with high prices and the direction of the country. Nearly two-thirds of voters blame Trump for high prices, and three-quarters of voters are angry or dissatisfied with the direction of the country's development. Support among Hispanic voters has dropped to about one-third from 46% in 2024.

Su Qiaohui, New Taipei City Mayoral Candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, responded to the amendment to the Elderly Welfare Act, pointing out that health insurance premiums as social benefits are still being discussed in the medical community and society. The Legislative Yuan increased the budget without discussing with the Executive Yuan, which violates the spirit of the Constitution and the Budget Law and crowds out other government expenditures.

On the 5th, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan and New Taipei City Mayor Hou Youyi went to Shilin Huarong Market to pray for votes. They responded to the controversy over the collective food poisoning case at Baolin Tea House and emphasized that the city government will fully assist the victims and their families in fighting for their rights, including seeking protection from the industry and insurance companies, and assisting the injured in filing group lawsuits. The case is still pending in the court.

KMT New Taipei City mayoral candidate Li Sichuan questioned DPP candidate Su Qiaohui's family's involvement in the dispute over the investment interests of "Queshi Intelligence" and asked the Ministry of Finance to provide relevant information to the Audit Department. He also pointed out that if his father is the executive president and his sister is a legislator, he can easily obtain more than 40 million yuan in government investment, which will give young people a sense of relative deprivation. Su Qiaohui responded that the relevant ministries would explain clearly that her sister filled out the form truthfully and did not need to embarrass civil servants because of the election.
