President Donald Trump is throwing his weight behind a renewed effort to end the twice-a-year clock changes that millions of Americans have dealt with for decades, signaling strong support for legislation that would make Daylight Saving Time permanent across the country.
The proposal, known as the Sunshine Protection Act, is once again gaining momentum in Washington. After clearing the House Energy and Commerce Committee by an overwhelming 48-1 vote earlier this year, the measure is now moving toward consideration by the full House of Representatives.
The debate over America’s clocks has resurfaced as lawmakers, business groups, and public health experts clash over whether the nation should stay on Daylight Saving Time year-round or return to permanent Standard Time.
