Congress remains deeply split on making daylight saving time changes permanent across the United States.
President Donald Trump appeared to share the personal cell phone number of Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., on Truth Social amid his push to pass a bill which would end daylight's savings time.
Trump called out Cotton, who he describes as "a friend," for stopping the "Sunshine Protection Act" from going to a vote last October.
