Trump wants to end the practice of changing the clocks

President-elect Donald Trump said Friday that the Republican Party “will do its best” to end the practice of changing the clocks, which he called “inappropriate and very costly to the country.” The practice, which aims to make better use of daylight and save energy by moving the clocks forward an hour during the summer to make the most of the evenings, has been in effect in most of the United States since the 1960s. But the issue has been a topic of debate in recent years.

Some lawmakers want to keep local time the same year-round, without changing it, some want the change to happen year-round, and others want to maintain the status quo. President Joe Biden has never taken a public stance on the issue. In March 2022, the U.S. Senate voted unanimously to make the time change permanent, but the effort stalled in the House of Representatives due to a lack of consensus on the issue.

In March, a bipartisan group of senators made a new effort to do just that. Supporters of the change argue that it would bring more daylight and economic activity during the winter months. Critics say it would force children to go to school in the dark, as sunrise is delayed by an hour.

Proponents of eliminating daylight saving time altogether say that changing it twice a year causes sleep disturbances and health problems. Congress has not held a new hearing on the issue in more than two years, and the Senate will have to consider the issue again.

Daylight saving time was used during World War II and was reintroduced in 1973 in an attempt to reduce energy use due to an oil embargo, but the decision was unpopular and was repealed a year later.

Since 2015, about 30 states have introduced or passed laws to end the biannual clock changes. Some states have proposed doing so only if neighboring states do the same./VOA
