Donald Trump says Senator Tom Cotton is "stopping the Bill" to make daylight saving time year-round

President Donald Trump used his social‑media account on Saturday to urge Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton, the Senate Intelligence Committee chair, to back the Sunshine Protection Act, a measure that would eliminate the twice‑yearly clock change by making daylight‑saving time year‑round; the bill cleared the House in July but is stalled in the Senate where several Republicans, including Cotton, have voiced concerns that permanent daylight‑saving time would create dark winter mornings for schoolchildren and commuters. In his post, Trump posted a phone number with an Arkansas area code and asked Arkansans to pressure Cotton, while the Associated Press reported that calls to the number went unanswered and reached a full voicemail box. Cotton responded on his own platform, reiterating his opposition and citing safety worries, and Trump countered by accusing Cotton of blocking the legislation and claiming it would benefit the state’s residents.
