House backs permanent daylight saving time, sends bill to Senate
TL;DR
The House passed the Sunshine Protection Act 308-117 to permanently adopt daylight saving time (keeping March–November hours) unless a state opts out, sending the measure to the Senate. Supporters, including former President Trump, argue it ends clock-change hassles, while opponents like Sen. Tom Cotton warn of darker winter mornings and uncertain effects, leaving Senate fate unclear despite prior attempts.
