Trump Posts Phone Number He Says Belongs to Tom Cotton Over Daylight Saving Bill

Outlets agree Trump posted a phone number he said belonged to Sen. Tom Cotton and urged people to contact him about making daylight saving time permanent. Cotton opposes the change, and the measure remains stalled in the Senate. Left-leaning outlets emphasize the number-sharing as a pressure tactic, often critically. Center outlets pair the post with Cotton’s objections and the bill’s stalled status in mostly descriptive accounts. Right-leaning outlets often foreground Trump’s push to advance the bill and Cotton’s reasons for opposing it, with varied descriptions of the number post.
