Trump renews push to end daylight saving time

President-elect Donald Trump is advocating to eliminate daylight saving time — again.

In a Truth Social post Friday, Trump said the practice of changing the clocks twice a year is “inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation.”

“The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn’t!” he said in the post.

Trump first threw his support behind the idea of permanently keeping America on daylight saving time in 2019 when state legislatures across the nation were considering eliminating the practice. Arizona and Hawaii are the only two states that don’t observe daylight saving time.

In 2022, the Senate unanimously and surprisingly passed Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-Fla.) bill to make daylight saving time permanent but the bill died in the House.
