After a significant Democratic victory in the midterms, former President Donald Trump has called on the Senate to pass legislation making daylight saving time permanent once they reconvene. Trump expressed his frustration on Truth Social, stating, “Too bad the Senate has not yet approved the Sunshine Protection Act or, the I Don’t Want to Change My Clocks Anymore Act.” He refrained from pushing the issue before the elections to avoid influencing certain Senate races.
Despite the House passing the bill in July, it faces opposition in the Senate from GOP leaders such as John Thune, R-S.D., and other senators like Tom Cotton, Mike Rounds, Steve Daines, Todd Young, and Bernie Moreno. Trump lamented the Senate’s inaction, pointing out the inconvenience of clock changes, particularly the early darkness, after daylight saving time ended on Sunday in most states except Hawaii and Arizona.
Currently quiet, Trump’s activity today included a short appearance at the construction site of a new White House ballroom.
