The Political Debate on Daylight Saving Time

Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

0:25The House passes the Sunshine Protection Act, which would make daylight saving time permanent.
1:05The report contrasts permanent daylight saving time with arguments for keeping standard time year-round.
1:49A historical timeline revisits federal timekeeping laws and America's earlier trial of permanent daylight saving time.
2:51State support and Trump's public push have not moved the bill through the Senate.

Bloomberg Television's Shaquille Omari puts the clock-change debate's central disagreement plainly: ending the twice-yearly switch still leaves Washington with a choice between permanent daylight saving time and permanent standard time.

His report, "The Political Debate on Daylight Saving Time," drew nearly a quarter-million views in half a day, far beyond the channel's usual start for a regular video. It arrives as Americans turn their clocks back, with the practical consequences of that choice in focus.

Omari reports that the House has passed the Sunshine Protection Act, sponsored by Florida Republican Vern Buchanan, to make daylight saving time permanent. Buchanan describes the clock changes as a frustration for families, schools, workers and small businesses. Donald Trump also calls for an end to the practice.

But agreement about stopping the switch does not settle which setting to keep. Pennsylvania Democrat Madeleine Dean opposes the bill, arguing that standard time benefits students and workers through greater morning alertness. The report also revisits America's earlier experiment with year-round daylight saving time, showing that this is not Washington's first attempt to settle the question.

Other Bloomberg uploads about Trump's economic message and the national debt are also drawing unusually large audiences. The clock report, though, offers a particularly concrete Washington impasse: a proposal that has cleared the House but still needs Senate action.

As Omari explains at the close, senators have taken no action on the bill, leaving Americans with the twice-yearly switch.
