Senator Tom Cotton has opposed the Sunshine Protection Act and is described as the primary obstacle blocking its advancement in the Senate.
According to reporting from KRCR (The National News Desk) and Dissenter, Donald Trump publicly called out Senator Tom Cotton on Truth Social for holding up the Sunshine Protection Act after it passed the House. Dissenter reports that the bill sits in the Senate without a vote and identifies Cotton as the bottleneck blocking the measure. Furthermore, KRCR notes that Cotton is expected to help block any push to pass the bill due to his longstanding opposition to permanent daylight saving time.
