It's been just over a month since we "sprang forward" and changed the clocks to daylight saving time. President Donald Trump said on Friday we should remain on it permanently. 

This is a stark contrast to what he was saying in December. 

“The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn’t! Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation,” he wrote on his social media back on Dec. 13, 2024. 

However, his Truth Social Post on Friday was boasting something completely different.

A hearing convened Thursday by the Senate Commerce Committee was debating this issue. Trump’s endorsement might help settle the debate for lawmakers. 

On March 15, 2022, the U.S. Senate voted unanimously in favor of the Sunshine Protection Act, which would make daylight saving time permanent, meaning Americans would no longer have to change their clocks twice a year to account for the time change. 

While the Senate passed the bill, nearly three years later it remains stalled in the House and has not been signed into law by President Trump.
