President Donald Trump has called on the Senate to pass the Sunshine Protection Act, which would make daylight saving time permanent, in a Truth Social post. The House passed the bill in July with a 308-117 vote, but the Senate has not taken it up. Trump has long been a proponent of the bill, which would eliminate the twice-yearly clock changes and make daylight saving time permanent. Opponents of the change argue it would leave mornings very dark for children going to school and adults going to work.
Trump said, "Too bad the Senate has not yet approved the Sunshine Protection Act or, the I Don’t Want to Change My Clocks Anymore Act. It’s so dark outside, so early (Sunset was 5:06 P.M., and it was dark by 5:31 P.M. — Isn’t that ridiculous?). Just a few days ago it was so nice and sunny at this same time. In addition, everyone’s been running around changing their clocks all over the place.
