古特菲尔德：这是特朗普发起的一场奇怪的运动
福克斯新闻主持人格雷格·古特菲尔德与《古特菲尔德》节目讨论了美国总统唐纳德·特朗普为何就夏令时问题与阿肯色州共和党参议员汤姆·科顿产生分歧。

夏令时目前暂时躲过了美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的批评。
正当美国民众再次迎来一年两次调整时钟的惯例——这次要在周日早晨把时钟拨回一小时——国会却未能及时解决这一问题。
今年早些时候，众议院通过了一项立法，允许各州自愿全年实行夏令时。但尽管该议题受到选民和特朗普的广泛支持，其在参议院的推进却陷入停滞。

关于夏令时的斗争爆发，停止调时的推进遭遇参议院阻碍

但这并非因为特朗普没有做出努力。特朗普一直向参议院施压，要求通过该法案，并在本周早些时候，他仍在全国各地的关键州和共和党票仓州开展竞选活动，敦促选民让共和党执政之际，再次重申了这一呼吁。
特朗普在Truth Social平台上表示：“美国参议院正在让夏令时法案胎死腹中，而绝大多数美国民众都希望通过该法案。绝大多数人都希望傍晚有更多阳光，但所有人都希望再也不用调整时钟了。进行投票吧！”
特朗普希望参议院通过《阳光保护法案》，或至少就该法案进行投票，但该法案正面临参众两院众多议员的强烈阻力。

他的施压行动甚至到了公开其核心盟友之一、阿肯色州共和党参议员汤姆·科顿（该法案的主要反对者之一）手机号码的地步，呼吁支持者致电这位议员，要求他推动法案通过。
科顿回应称：“没人喜欢调整时钟，我也不例外，但国会此前已多次颁布永久夏令时法案，却每次在美国民众经历冬季日出过晚的荒谬情况后又将其废除。阿肯色州民众不希望自己的孩子在漆黑一片中上学，我会永远把阿肯色州的利益放在首位。”

今年7月，众议院以两党合作的方式通过了《阳光保护法案》。民主党和共和党议员均以多数票支持该法案，最终投票结果为307票赞成、117票反对，仅22名共和党人和95名民主党人投了反对票。
不过，这只是众议院议员抱怨的参议院中陷入停滞的多项立法之一。众议院多数党领袖、路易斯安那州共和党人史蒂夫·斯卡利斯在10月初接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时，敦促参议院推进该法案。
终于有进展：众议院通过取消夏令时法案后接下来会怎样？

斯卡利斯对福克斯新闻数字频道表示：“没有理由让美国民众失去一天结束时的一小时日照，毕竟更多日照意味着能与家人共度更多时光、给我们的 businesses 带来更多活动、让社区更安全。”
“特朗普总统一直推动让夏令时永久化，而众议院共和党人以压倒性优势通过了《阳光保护法案》。这是一项合乎情理的改变，参议院应当推进该法案。”斯卡利斯说道。

选举结束后参议院复会时，议员们将面临堆积如山的剩余立法议程。由于参议院的议事时间是核心稀缺资源，即便该法案已面临阻力，要将《阳光保护法案》提上议事日程仍颇具挑战。

参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州共和党人约翰·图恩本月早些时候对记者表示：“总统在这一问题上和在许多其他问题上一样，态度坚决。我们正在就此展开讨论，但目前尚未明确的推进路径，也未达成共识。”

Americans forced to change clocks again as Senate stalls Trump-backed daylight saving time bill
The House passed the bill 307 to 117 in July, but Senate Majority Leader John Thune says there is ‘no clear path forward’

Gutfeld: This is an odd crusade from Trump
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld and the ‘Gutfeld’ panel discuss why President Donald Trump called out Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., for a disagreement over daylight saving time.
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
Daylight saving time has dodged the wrath of President Donald Trump — for now.
As Americans again participate in the twice-yearly ritual of fiddling with their clocks — this time rolling back an hour on Sunday morning — Congress has fallen short of tackling the issue in time.
Earlier this year, the House passed legislation that would allow states to voluntarily observe daylight saving time year-round. But progress on the legislation has ground to a halt in the Senate, even though it’s a popular issue with voters and Trump.

BATTLE OVER DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME ERUPTS AS PUSH TO STOP CHANGING CLOCKS HITS SENATE WALL

But it’s not for lack of trying. Trump has routinely pressured the upper chamber to pass the bill and re-upped that call earlier this week in the midst of traveling across the country to rally in key states and safe red bastions to urge voters to keep Republicans in power.
“The United States Senate is letting the daylight saving bill die when a vast Majority of the Country want it,” Trump said on Truth Social. “Most people are demanding light in the evening, but ALL want not to change their clocks anymore. TAKE A VOTE!”
Trump wants the Senate to pass, or at least take a vote on, the Sunshine Protection Act, but it’s facing heavy headwinds from a broad swathe of lawmakers in the upper chamber on both sides of the aisle.
TRUMP FACES REPUBLICAN REBELLION OVER DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME AS SENATE BILL NEARS DEAD END
https://a57.foxnews.com/cf-images.us-east-1.prod.boltdns.net/v1/static/694940094001/1ab05e4e-d956-4deb-bbcb-0ee819516a83/58664c50-a834-40ed-9abd-15342bcb4382/1280×720/match/720/405/image.jpg?ve=1&tl=1
His pressure campaign got to the point that he shared the cellphone number of one of his top allies, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., one of the more vocal opponents of the bill, urging supporters to call the lawmaker and demand he work on passing the bill.
“No one likes changing the clock, me included, but Congress has enacted permanent Daylight Saving Time multiple times before and repealed it each time once Americans experienced absurdly late sunrises in the winter,” Cotton said in response. “Arkansans don’t want their kids going to school in the pitch dark, and I’ll always put Arkansas first.”

The House of Representatives passed the Sunshine Protection Act along bipartisan lines in July. Majorities of Democrats and Republicans voted in favor of the bill, which passed 307 to 117. Just 22 Republicans and 95 Democrats opposed it.
But it’s one of several pieces of legislation that House lawmakers complain has fallen by the wayside in the upper chamber. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., pressed the Senate to take up that bill in comments to Fox News Digital back in early October.

Scalise told Fox News Digital, “There’s no reason Americans should lose an hour of sunlight at the end of the day when more daylight means more time with our families, more activity for our businesses and safer communities.”
“President Trump has been pushing to make daylight saving time permanent, and House Republicans delivered by overwhelmingly passing the Sunshine Protection Act. It’s a commonsense change and the Senate should take it up,” Scalise said.

And when the Senate returns after the election, lawmakers will have a densely packed schedule crammed with leftover legislation. With floor time being the top commodity in the upper chamber, squeezing the Sunshine Protection Act onto the floor may be a challenge, even without the resistance it already faces.

“The president feels strongly on it like he does a lot of issues,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., told reporters earlier this month. “It’s something we’re having conversations about, but there’s no clear path forward or consensus on it yet.”
