Trump sparks lobbying battle on daylight saving time

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : These advocates are now planning new outreach to the Trump administration -- including Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Department of Health and Human Services -- as well as to members of Congress who came close but fell short in advancing legislation to make daylight saving time permanent in 2022.
42% : In interviews, advocates on both sides said they believe it's possible Trump actually backs their cause but is mixing up his terminology.
38% : Trump said in a Truth Social post.
36% : Proponents for both daylight saving and standard time are in the challenging position of not just having to win Trump over, but having to decipher where he stands on the matter in the first place -- and if he might be persuaded to change his stance.
32% : National Golf Course Owners of America CEO Jay Karen, who also testified at the Commerce Committee hearing, said he wasn't surprised to see Trump weigh in -- though he added the group has yet to engage with Trump directly.
31% : "It was certainly disappointing to see [Trump] come out more clearly in theory toward permanent daylight saving time.
27% : After calling on Congress to "eliminate Daylight Saving Time" back in December, Trump then called it a "50/50 issue" in March before suggesting this month that lawmakers should make daylight saving time permanent.
