Rallies for and against the mass recall are underway on the final night ahead of voting, in a last effort to pump up voters ahead of the Saturday's elections. The opposition Kuomintang and Taiwan People's Party vote down a second slate of judicial nominees to Taiwan's Constitutional Court. And several of China's state media outlets have ramped up propaganda efforts ahead of Taiwan's recalls. Plus:
-The Taiwan Institute of Economic Research has issued its economic forecast for 2025, with GDP starting off strong but possibly dropping in the second half of the year.
-National Taiwan Normal University has fired its women's soccer coach over allegedly coercing her players to give blood samples to a sports science study.
-Taiwan medals in table tennis and the high jump at the World University Games.
