Trump Posts Number Identified as Tom Cotton’s Over Daylight Saving Bill

Outlets agree that Trump posted a number he identified as Sen. Tom Cotton’s and urged Arkansans to contact him in support of permanent daylight saving time. The House had passed the measure, but it remained stalled in the Senate. Left-leaning outlets focus on the phone-number post as a pressure tactic and its fallout, often criticizing Trump’s conduct. Center outlets largely recount the policy dispute, Cotton’s objections, and the phone-number post in descriptive terms. Right-leaning outlets emphasize Trump’s push to advance the bill and Cotton’s opposition, while also reporting the post and criticism it drew.
