Taipei (TVBS News) — Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) campaign chief Vivian Huang suggests that TPP presidential candidate Ko Wen-je should ignore daily critiques from traditional media to improve his lagging poll numbers ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

However, Vivian Huang counters the negativity by emphasizing that internal polling for the TPP shows their support at around 20%.
