Most of the U.S. observes daylight saving time, except Hawaii and most of Arizona, which remain on standard time year-round.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe president has been actively engaged in this,\u201d a senior White House official told Politico. \u201cIt\u2019s a big priority for him,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<p>The focus on clocks comes after Trump told CNBC on Monday that negotiations tied to the Iran war\u2014an issue increasingly relevant to Americans amid rising oil prices and an affordability crisis linked to the blockade in the Strait of Hormuz\u2014were \u201cboring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet unlike the Iran war, where the president has struggled to make progress in negotiations and faced major Republican backlash after four lawmakers broke ranks to pass a resolution blocking further U.S. military action, Trump has had more success on the clock issue.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, the House Energy and Commerce Committee voted 48\u20131 in favor of the Sunshine Protection Act, which would keep daylight saving time in effect year-round nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s time that people can stop worrying about the \u2018Clock,\u2019 not to mention all of the work and money that is spent on this ridiculous, twice yearly production,\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social following the vote. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=763\">Top Doctor Raises Alarm After Sleepy Trump, 79, Slumps in Oval Office<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will also be a very nice WIN for the Republican Party. Take it! We are going with the far more popular alternative, Saving Daylight, which gives you a longer, brighter Day \u2014 And who can be against that \u2014 This is an easy one!\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<p>After major setbacks over the Iran war and Ukraine-related agenda, as well as the blocking of funding for his White House ballroom and the \u201cAnti-Weaponization Fund,\u201d the president\u2019s push to advance even a relatively minor clock bill reflects a broader effort to secure any legislative win, however small.<\/p>\n<p>The bill still needs to clear the full House before moving to the Senate, where lawmakers will decide whether to take it up, with Trump reportedly actively pushing to get it across the finish line, including by phoning Republicans directly to secure their support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a big fan of it,\u201d Republican Senator Josh Hawley, 46, told Politico, adding that during a call about daylight saving time, the president asked him whether he still thought it was a \u201cgood idea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One Republican senator who has pushed back on the idea is Tom Cotton, 49, who warned it would lead to unusually late winter sunrises and force children in much of the country to travel to school in darkness, according to Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>Bipartisan efforts to make daylight saving time permanent have repeatedly stalled, with lawmakers split between business groups pushing for more evening daylight and critics warning of health risks from darker mornings, as well as concerns from some religious communities that rely on daylight for morning prayer.<\/p>\n<p>Trump himself has a stake in longer evening daylight, which would follow if daylight saving time became the norm, as posting on Truth Social often cuts into his sleep.
