Trump backs congressional push for permanent daylight saving time

President Donald Trump supported a push by lawmakers to make daylight saving time permanent after the Senate held a hearing on the matter.

The Senate Commerce Committee held a hearing Thursday on eliminating the changeover from daylight saving time to standard time each year, discussing the setbacks with the biannual time change. Trump, who has given various answers on the matter, seemingly endorsed keeping daylight saving time in place in a Friday post, calling for more light later in the day permanently.
