Trump Presses Tom Cotton Over Permanent Daylight Saving Time Bill

Outlets agree that Trump urged people to contact Sen. Tom Cotton and posted a number he said belonged to Cotton as he pushed for permanent daylight saving time. Cotton opposes the change, citing dark winter mornings. Left-leaning outlets focus on Trump's public pressure and phone-number post, often presenting the disclosure as an inappropriate or ineffective tactic. Center outlets largely describe both sides' policy arguments and the phone-number episode. Right-leaning outlets often pair Trump's push with Cotton's winter-morning objection, though some portray Cotton as delaying action.
