Trump Vows to End Daylight Saving Time with GOP Support

President-elect Donald Trump announced plans to work with Republicans to eliminate daylight saving time during his second term, citing its inconvenience and cost. The proposal comes amid ongoing debates over the Sunshine Protection Act, which aims to make daylight saving time permanent. While the Senate passed the act in 2022, it stalled in the House.

"Sunshine Protection Act: The Case for Permanent Daylight Saving Time"

Florida Senators Rick Scott and Marco Rubio are pushing for the bipartisan Sunshine Protection Act to make daylight saving time permanent, with 62% of Americans in favor of ending the time change. While federal law currently prevents states from following daylight saving time permanently, 28 bills have been introduced this year regarding daylight saving time, with about two dozen states considering enacting permanent daylight saving time if Congress allows such a change. Daylight saving time has a long history of changes and reversals in the U.S., and the public is increasingly ready for another change due to disruptions to sleep and routines.

Daylight Saving Time in 2024 will begin on March 10, when clocks in participating states will spring forward an hour, and will end on November 3.

"US Senators Advocate for Permanent Daylight Saving Time Amid Health Concerns and Deals for 2024"

Senators Ed Markey and Marco Rubio are renewing bipartisan efforts to pass legislation that would make daylight saving time permanent, adding an hour to the day. The Sunshine Protection Act, which has already been unanimously passed by the Senate, aims to end the practice of changing clocks twice a year and allow certain states and territories to remain on standard time. The bill has garnered support from other lawmakers and approximately 30 states have introduced similar legislation since 2015. President Joe Biden has not taken a stance on the issue, while former President Donald Trump expressed support for making daylight saving permanent in 2019.

"Understanding Daylight Saving Time: Changes, Dates, and Impact in the US"

Daylight saving time begins on March 10, with Americans except for Hawaii and Arizona moving their clocks forward. The Sunshine Protection Act aims to make daylight saving time permanent, but the bill expired in 2022. Sen. Marco Rubio reintroduced the legislation in 2023, with support from various senators. Despite Californians voting to remove daylight saving time in 2018, the state Legislature still needs federal approval to make the change.

Daylight Saving Time 2023: Clocks 'Fall Back' Soon

The Sunshine Protection Act, a bill that would make daylight saving time permanent, was unanimously approved by the U.S. Senate in 2022 but did not pass in the U.S. House of Representatives or get signed into law by President Joe Biden. A 2023 version of the act has remained idle in Congress. Daylight saving time was first implemented in the U.S. in 1918 and has undergone various changes since then. Not all states and U.S. territories participate in daylight saving time, including Hawaii, Arizona (except the Navajo Nation), and several territories.

Countdown to the End: Daylight Saving Time 2023

Daylight saving time will end on Sunday, November 5, 2023, at 2 a.m. Although Oregon, Washington, and California have agreed to abolish seasonal time changes, the change is currently stuck at the federal level. The Sunshine Protection Act, which aimed to make the change a reality, passed in the U.S. Senate in 2022 but did not progress in the House of Representatives. Until there is progress at the federal level, daylight saving time will continue to be observed in March and November.
