Trump Pushes Senate on Daylight Savings: How Timeline for Change Looks
Trump is urging the Senate to end clock changes as lawmakers face a race to pass permanent daylight saving time before November 1.
President Donald Trump has urged the Senate to pass legislation that would make daylight saving time permanent throughout most of the United States. In a recent post on Truth Social, Trump called for the Senate to pass the "NO MORE CHANGING THE CLOCKS ACT," arguing that more daylight in the evening could help reduce crime and is a popular demand.
The House of Representatives had already passed the Sunshine Protection Act, H.R. 139, by a bipartisan vote on July 14, and it was sent to the Senate on July 15. Currently, the Senate is in recess and is expected to return on September 14. If the Senate passes the bill without amendments and President Trump signs it before November 1, it could result in permanent daylight saving time.
However, the bill already faces opposition from some senators, including Republican Tom Cotton, who has warned that winter mornings would become darker with permanent daylight saving time.
