Trump presses for permanent daylight saving as clock change approaches
TL;DR
President Trump urges making daylight saving time permanent with the Sunshine Protection Act, but the House-passed bill faces an uncertain path in a Senate recess, leaving the Nov. 1 clock change in effect for now. While Trump cites safety, energy savings and more family time, experts warn permanent standard time might better align with our circadian rhythms, and some religious groups worry about sunrise-based observances. If Congress acts, the bill would go to Trump for signature; otherwise Americans should still plan to set clocks back on Nov. 1.
