Donald Trump took a clear position when Congress begins to debate about the abolition of a change in time, including during the interrogation convened on Thursday by the Senate Trade Commission.
“The Chamber and the Senate should Press hard on more daylight at the end of the day. Very popular and, most importantly, no end of rearranging clocks, [która jest] A great inconvenience and, for our government, a very expensive event !!! ” – wrote Trump in a post on his Truth Social platform.
Ted Cruz, chairman of the Trade Committee, said that there is widespread consent to end the clocks twice a year, but there is no agreement as to whether you should go to summer or standard time. Proponents of constant summer time, including the golf industry, argued that the elongated evening sunlight would benefit for recreation and exercise, while supporters of constant standard time argued that Their preferred alternative would lead to a better sleep.
Trump's support to make summer time the norm – instead of changing clocks twice a year or adapting to standard time, which would mean more daylight in the morning and less in the evening – it can help resolve the debate.
During the Thursday hearing, senators on both sides of the political scene found that they wanted to be sure that the states still have freedom in making decisions between standard and summer time, considering economic and health compromises. For example, Todd Young, a republican senator, warned that his condition, Indiana, maybe do not derive the same benefits from summer timelike the states located further east, claiming that in winter the sun can rise after 9 am.
– residents of the state of Hoosier [alternatywna nazwa Indiany — red.] They will start a day in the dark for most of winter. […] What works in the States of the East Coast, when I hear from many of my voters, may not work in states like Indiana – Young emphasized. – The universal national time policy does not take into account regional differences that have a significant impact on everyday life.
