## Key points

- Americans turned clocks back as the bill stalled.
- The House passed the measure 307 to 117.
- Senate opposition and limited floor time remain obstacles.

## Summary

Americans turned their clocks back an hour as Congress failed to agree on legislation that could end the twice-yearly time change. The Senate has not advanced the Sunshine Protection Act, despite pressure from President Donald Trump and broad support for the bill in the House.

The House passed the measure 307 to 117 in July, allowing states to choose permanent daylight saving time. Opponents, including Senator Tom Cotton, warn that winter mornings would be darker, while supporters say lighter evenings would benefit families, businesses and community safety. Senate Majority Leader John Thune says there is no clear path or consensus, and the chamber faces a crowded schedule after the election.
