Trump urges Senate to pass bill making daylight saving time permanent after overwhelming House vote

"For many years, the vast Majority of Americans have asked to make Daylight Saving Time permanent, but no Administration has been able to get it done, until now," Trump posted on Truth Social.

"People are sick and tired of having to change their clocks twice a year," he continued. "It is foolish, inconvenient and, in some cases, very costly."

Support for the legislation has generally come from lawmakers representing coastal states, while opposition has been concentrated among lawmakers from the Midwest and agriculture-heavy states.

"For Cities and States with Watchtowers, and hard to reach places, it costs Millions of Dollars," he said.

Trump also argued that ending the twice-yearly clock changes would improve public health and reduce crime.

"A recent case was made that it is also bad for your health in the anxiety it creates," he wrote.

"Leading Medical, Crime, and Economic Studies have shown that ceasing the biannual time change, giving us one extra hour of natural sunlight in the evenings, will help Decrease Robbery and Murder Rates, Reduce Car Accidents (especially those involving Pedestrians!), Lower Risk for Cardiac Issues, Stroke, and Seasonal Depression, Make It Safer for Children to Walk Home from School, Increase Time with your Family, Strongly Support Extracurricular Activities, Boost the Sports, Fitness, Tourism, Retail, and Restaurant Industries (and more!), and Save Money on Energy Bills, because everyone will be enjoying an EXTRA HOUR OF DAYLIGHT.

"LET'S PASS THE SUNSHINE PROTECTION ACT, ASAP."

While nearly every state sets clocks ahead one hour in March before turning them back one hour in November, many have already passed legislation that would make daylight saving time permanent if Congress authorizes the change.

Hawaii and most of Arizona do not observe daylight saving time.
