Quick Summary

President Trump released Senator Tom Cotton's personal cellphone number on Truth Social as a way to pressure the Arkansas senator into supporting a bill that would make daylight savings time permanent. In his message, Trump called Cotton "a friend" but criticized him for being the main obstacle in the Senate to passing the Sunshine Protection Act, which previously passed the House with overwhelming support. Despite Trump's efforts, Cotton remained unmoved, citing concerns about children having to wait for school buses in dark mornings during winter months.

Story summary

President Trump accused Senator Tom Cotton, an Arkansas Republican and chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, of blocking a bill that would make daylight saving time permanent. On his social media platform Truth Social, Trump shared what he claimed was Cotton’s personal cell phone number, urging supporters to call him and push for the passage of the Sunshine Protection Act. The House had already passed this bill in July with a vote of 308-117, but it faces opposition in the Senate where some Republicans, including Cotton, are strongly against it. Trump argues that ending the twice-yearly clock change would provide more daylight during peak hours when people are most active, while opponents like Cotton argue that permanent daylight saving time would lead to darker and potentially hazardous winter mornings for early risers. The Senate is out of session until after the November 3 midterm elections, delaying any potential vote on the bill.
