Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) has stated that there is currently “no clear path forward” for legislation that would establish year-round daylight saving time. This declaration comes despite significant backing from President Donald Trump, who has intensified his efforts to persuade Republican senators to advance the measure.
Thune acknowledged the President’s strong feelings on the issue, noting that Trump is as passionate about daylight saving time as he is about many other policy priorities. Despite this high-level political pressure, the Majority Leader indicated that the road to passing such legislation through the Senate remains uncertain and complicated.
