Interesting math: Tom Cotton's minimum wage increase would be less than his own state's

The Arkansas Republican wants to gradually raise the federal minimum wage to $10. His own state's is already $11.
A Republican senator's bill to gradually raise the minimum wage could bring it to $10 an hour by 2025. Meanwhile, his own state's hourly minimum wage is already $11.
Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas unveiled the "Higher Wages for American Workers Act" on Tuesday with Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT).
The bill includes a stepped increase in the federal minimum wage, which has remained at $7.25 an hour since 2009. The federal minimum wage would go up a bit each year for four years, but the process would not begin until the COVID-19 pandemic ends.
