Promise Details
Trump pledged to sign legislation or issue an executive action to make daylight saving time permanent, ending the biannual clock changes. He argues that stable daylight hours improve productivity, safety, and mental health. The proposal mirrors the 2022 Senate-approved “Sunshine Protection Act,” which never advanced in the House. Public polls show broad bipartisan support. As of 2025, the Department of Transportation and Congress are reviewing alignment of time-zone policy to implement nationwide consistency.
Why it is broken
Trump endorsed the “Sunshine Protection Act” model to make daylight saving time permanent, promising swift action through legislation or executive authority. Coordination between Congress and the Department of Transportation remains pending. Experts note broad public support but logistical concerns over time-zone uniformity. No executive order or final bill has yet been enacted. The commitment remains an unimplemented policy aim.
