Trump pressures Senate Republicans on permanent daylight saving time bill
President Trump on Friday publicly criticized Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) for blocking passage of legislation to make daylight saving time permanent. Trump escalated pressure on Senate Republicans through social media and public statements, calling the bill the 'No More Changing of Clocks Act,' as the Senate enters recess.
Left-leaning outlets portrayed Trump's criticism as a public attack on a 'MAGA senator' and emphasized the unusually intense nature of Trump's late-night pressure campaign against a fellow Republican.
Center outlets reported the basic facts: Trump blamed Cotton for stalling bipartisan legislation and characterized the measure as having Republican and Democratic support.
Right-leaning outlets framed Trump's demand as a call for Cotton to 'wake up' and pass the bill, presenting the issue as one of practical legislative progress.
