  • President-elect Donald Trump said on Friday the Republican Party would try to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, calling it "inconvenient" and "costly."

The article from CNN, published on December 13, 2024, discusses former President Donald Trump's stance on Daylight Saving Time (DST). Trump has expressed support for making Daylight Saving Time permanent, arguing that the biannual clock changes are outdated and cause unnecessary disruption. He has cited potential benefits such as increased evening daylight for economic activities, reduced car accidents, and energy savings. However, the article also notes that Trump's proposal faces significant legislative hurdles, with Congress showing mixed reactions. Some lawmakers support the idea, while others are concerned about the impact on different regions of the country, particularly those in the northern states where later sunrises could affect morning commutes and school schedules. The debate continues as to whether the Sunshine Protection Act, which would make DST permanent, will gain enough traction to be passed into law.
