President Donald Trump publicly targeted Republican Senator Tom Cotton as legislative efforts in the United States Senate to permanently establish daylight saving time officially stalled. The House previously passed the Sunshine Protection Act, but Senate leadership and key members have resisted taking up the measure. Senator John Kennedy stated the bill remains dead as disco due to a lack of momentum and leadership backing. Critics, including Cotton, have placed procedural holds on the legislation, favoring standard time or expressing logistical concerns about year-round clock alignment. A similar 1974 attempt during an energy crisis faced intense public backlash over dark winter mornings and was quickly repealed. Congressional skepticism remains deep, leaving the twice a year clock change firmly in place despite executive pressure.
