Making daylight saving time permanent moved a step closer to reality earlier this month, when the House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly to pass a measure to eliminate the annual clock-changing ritual.

President Donald Trump has championed the effort, describing on his Truth Social account moving the clocks forward and back as a “ridiculous, twice yearly production.”
