Trump urges Senate to pass bill making Daylight Saving Time permanent
Donald Trump called on the Senate to approve legislation that would keep Daylight Saving Time year-round after the House passed the measure.
Donald Trump used his Truth Social platform to announce that the House of Representatives has cleared a proposal to eliminate the bi-annual clock shift by adopting permanent Daylight Saving Time. He appealed directly to Senate Republicans, urging them to pass the Sunshine Protection Act promptly. Trump argued that the change enjoys broad public support and could bridge partisan divides.
He highlighted that many Americans are “sick and tired” of adjusting clocks twice a year. The push follows previous attempts by lawmakers to resolve the standard-time versus daylight-saving debate. No final Senate vote has occurred yet.
Why it matters
A permanent shift to Daylight Saving Time would affect daily schedules and could have health, economic, and safety implications for Americans.
