U.S. Clocks to Fall Back Sunday as Debate Over Permanent Daylight Saving Time Continues

Clocks in most of the United States will move back one hour Sunday as daylight saving time ends, bringing earlier sunsets in cities including Atlanta.
The change comes amid a continuing debate over whether the country should remain on daylight saving time permanently. The Hill reported that President Donald Trump and some lawmakers support ending the twice-yearly clock changes, and that the House passed the Sunshine Protection Act earlier this year. Cleveland.com reported that 19 states are prepared to adopt permanent daylight saving time but cannot do so without congressional action.
Ireland and the rest of the European Union made their seasonal change on the last Sunday in October. In Ireland, clocks moved from 2 a.m. back to 1 a.m., ending Irish summertime. Although the European Parliament voted in 2019 to end seasonal time changes, EU institutions have not implemented that decision, and the European Commission has said it does not plan to submit a new proposal.
