Trump urges calls to Arkansas senator in push for permanent daylight saving time
(opens the publisher’s site)Trump escalated his push for permanent daylight saving time on Saturday, publishing Senator Tom Cotton's phone number and urging Arkansas residents to pressure him.
- Trump wrote on Truth Social that Cotton was "holding up" the Sunshine Protection Act, which he said should pass "overwhelmingly, in a Bipartisan fashion."
- Cotton reiterated opposition on Saturday, saying Arkansans don't want children going to school in the dark on winter mornings.
- The Sunshine Protection Act passed the House in July by a 308-117 vote and would end twice-yearly clock changes, with states able to opt out.
- Senator John Kennedy said the push would likely not reach a vote before the November 3 midterms, calling it "dead as disco."
