Trump shares Cotton's phone number over daylight saving time bill

On Saturday, President Trump posted Senator Tom Cotton's personal phone number online. He was pressuring Cotton to support a bill that would make daylight saving time permanent in the United States. Trump said Cotton was blocking the bill in the Senate, where one senator can stop legislation alone. The bill passed the House easily but has been stuck in the Senate since July. Cotton has argued that permanent daylight saving time would mean dark winter mornings, which he believes are bad for people's health. He said Arkansas does not want children going to school in darkness. Trump has called ending twice-yearly clock changes an important goal since winning the 2024 election. He did something similar in 2016, when he shared another senator's phone number publicly.
