Trump Urges Senate to Pass Legislation Ending Clock Changes
The House passed the measure 308 to 117, and supporters say it would spare Americans from twice-yearly clock changes.
- President Donald Trump renewed his push for year-round Daylight Saving Time on Monday, urging the Senate to pass legislation ending the nation's twice-yearly clock changes.
- Earlier this month, The House passed the Sunshine Protection Act in a 308 to 117 vote, establishing year-round Daylight Saving Time nationwide.
- Proponents argue the change spares Americans from disrupting sleep schedules, while critics warn of economic consequences for farmers facing later sunrises compared to Standard Time.
- During a recent event in Michigan, Trump called to "get rid of Daylight Saving Time stuff," noting it would be a "very nice WIN for the Republican Party."
- The Senate must now approve the bill Trump championed, though Senate Majority Leader John Thune said it remains unclear whether 60 senators support the measure.
