Trump posts GOP senator's cell phone number over daylight savings act stall

President Donald Trump publicly posted the cell phone number of Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) on Truth Social on Saturday, urging his supporters to call the senator and demand he support a stalled bill to make daylight saving time permanent. Trump lashed out at Senate Republicans for holding up the legislation, characterizing the senator as a friend who is blocking an important measure.

The incident led to a public tussle between the president and the Arkansas lawmaker over the daylight savings act stall. By sharing the lawmaker's contact information and prompting constituent mobilization, the president intervened directly in a legislative stalemate among members of his own party.
