Most of the United States is set to return to standard time at 2 a.m. local time Sunday, and a House-passed bill that would make daylight saving time year-round has not cleared the Senate, Colorado Newsline reported¹.

President Donald Trump has said he wants year-round daylight saving time¹. The House in July approved the Sunshine Protection Act 308-17, with 193 Republicans, 114 Democrats and one independent voting yes¹.

Supporters including Rep. Gus Bilirakis, R-Fla., and Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J., said twice-yearly clock changes no longer match how people work and that more evening light would help tourism¹. Rep. Madeleine Dean, D-Pa., said morning light matters for sleep and alertness¹.

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., said Congress has enacted permanent daylight time before and later repealed it after late winter sunrises¹. He said children in parts of Arkansas would start school before sunrise for months¹. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., said her state wants permanent daylight time because winter darkness arrives early¹.

Senators return Nov. 9¹. The Senate is scheduled for 22 session days the rest of the year and would need 60 votes to proceed¹. Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said geography shapes senators' views¹.

An AP-NORC poll a year ago found 56 percent preferred year-round daylight saving time, the Newsline report said¹. Congress used winter daylight time in 1974-75 during an energy crisis and later lengthened daylight time under the current March-to-November calendar¹.

ABC News reported that the Senate is skeptical of making daylight saving time permanent despite pressure from Trump¹¹.
