Thune Says ‘No Clear Path Forward’ for Clock-Change Bill
The Sunshine Protection Act passed the House 308 to 117 in July, but Senate leaders say support is still lacking.
- Senate Majority Leader John Thune said this week the Sunshine Protection Act has "no clear path forward," stalling the bill in the Senate despite its 308–117 House approval in July.
- President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social Friday claiming most people prefer extra evening sunlight and that changing clocks "costs our Country a fortune," intensifying pressure on reluctant lawmakers.
- Thune expressed opposition earlier this year, citing detrimental impacts on his home state of South Dakota. "I'm from a northern clime," he told reporters, highlighting regional concerns.
- Lawmakers in Congress have warned that permanent Daylight Saving Time could cause pitch-dark winter mornings and disrupt sleep patterns, creating safety concerns that complicate consensus.
- With the current session nearing its conclusion, limited legislative floor time suggests the proposal is unlikely to reach a Senate vote, effectively preserving the current status quo.
