President Donald Trump has intensified his efforts to persuade the Senate to make daylight saving time permanent. He has urged lawmakers to act swiftly, as clocks are set to move back across most of the United States on November 1.
During a rally in Mississippi on Monday, Trump described the biannual clock adjustment as “ridiculous” and said it “drives everyone crazy.” He emphasized that most people prefer more daylight in the evening rather than the morning. Americans, he noted, “don’t want to have to go all over the place changing their clocks.”
Trump criticized the Senate for not advancing the Sunshine Protection Act. This bill, passed by the House earlier this year, remains stalled in the Senate. The delay means daylight saving time will end as planned, much to the disappointment of many Americans, according to Trump.
In a post on Truth Social on Monday, Trump further urged lawmakers to act. He stated: “The United States Senate is letting the Daylight Saving Bill die, when a vast Majority of the Country want it. Most people are demanding light in the evening, but ALL want not to change their clocks anymore.”
