- The House passed the measure 308-117 last month, and it is now being reviewed by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation.
- Trump argued that ending the biannual time change would reduce crime and improve health; a 2023 YouGov survey found 62% of participants favored scrapping the switch.
- Gallup found 48% of respondents preferred permanent standard time, compared with 24% backing year-round Daylight Saving Time, while Hawaii and most of Arizona already do not observe the practice.
- Orthodox Jewish organizations warned that later winter sunrises would disrupt morning prayer schedules; Rabbi Motzen, national director of government affairs at Agudath Israel of America, told JNS the change would be 'extraordinarily difficult' for employees and students.
