Trump Pushes for Permanent DST | Concord News
Description
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. While some senators, like Tom Cotton, warn winter sunrises would be too late and dangerous for early risers, others like Rick Scott are rallying support, urging swift passage. The debate centers on convenience versus safety and well-being — with lawmakers divided on whether the clock changes truly harm or help daily life.
