Overview
- Daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. local time on Sunday, Nov. 2, 2025, with clocks set back one hour and standard time lasting until March 8, 2026.
- Sen. Tom Cotton objected to a unanimous-consent request to fast-track the Sunshine Protection Act, stalling efforts despite support from President Donald Trump and past Senate momentum.
- Nineteen states have passed laws to adopt year‑round daylight saving time, but they cannot implement them without congressional authorization, while states may independently choose permanent standard time.
- An AP/NORC poll finds only 12% support the current twice‑yearly clock changes, and health groups plus recent Stanford research favor ending the switches and generally recommend permanent standard time for circadian health.
- Hawaii, most of Arizona and several U.S. territories do not change clocks, and a 1974 attempt at permanent daylight time was rolled back within a year after safety concerns over dark winter mornings.
