U.S. President Donald Trump publicly disclosed the cell phone number of Senator Tom Cotton, as part of a campaign to convince Trump supporters to pressure the senator to support making daylight saving time permanent. When The Washington Sun attempted to contact the number the following day, they encountered a full mailbox recording.
Senator Cotton has consistently opposed the idea of making daylight saving time permanent, arguing that it would result in winter being a dark and dismal time for many Americans, particularly children. The bill to make daylight saving time permanent passed unanimously in the Senate in 2022, but stalled out afterward due to opposition from Cotton and other Republicans.

President Trump echoed Cotton's comments, urging Trump supporters to put Arkansas first by supporting permanent daylight saving time.
