Trump is pushing Congress to make daylight saving time permanent, calling the twice-yearly clock changes “foolish and costly,” and urging Republicans to clear the way before August recess. The House already passed a bipartisan bill in July, citing potential benefits like reduced crime, fewer accidents, and better health — but the Senate hasn’t acted yet.
