President Donald Trump publicly shared Senator Tom Cotton's cell phone number. This action was part of a campaign to pressure Cotton into supporting permanent daylight saving time. Trump urged his Truth Social followers to contact Cotton and advocate for the change. Upon attempting to call the number shortly after Trump's post, the voicemail was full. Senator Cotton has consistently opposed making daylight saving time permanent. He argues that it would lead to darker winters, negatively impacting children. A previous Senate vote on the matter in 2022 passed unanimously, but Senator Cotton was reportedly unaware of the vote. Cotton reiterated his stance on Saturday, stating that Arkansans do not want their children going to school in the dark. He affirmed his commitment to prioritizing Arkansas's interests. Trump countered, suggesting that supporting permanent daylight saving time would benefit Arkansas by providing more daylight and eliminating the biannual clock changes.
