For many voters, President Donald Trump’s Wednesday urging of the United States Senate to pass the Sunshine Protection Act— which would make daylight saving time permanent nationwide—highlights how the current system of early sunsets is seen as ridiculous.

On Truth Social, Trump wrote, "Too bad the Senate has not yet approved the Sunshine Protection Act or, the 'I Don't Want to Change My Clocks Anymore Act,'" underscoring his frustration with the legislative delay.
