Senator says daylight saving time bill faces tough Senate fight

Investing.com -- A bill that passed the U.S. House of Representatives last week to make daylight saving time permanent will face a difficult path to approval in the Senate, a lawmaker said Monday.

Senator John Kennedy, a Republican, told reporters that President Donald Trump recently called him to request his support for the legislation. The bill would end the twice-yearly practice of changing clocks that has been in place across most of the United States since the 1960s.

Kennedy said he agreed to back the measure but noted there is substantial opposition in the Senate. "It's going to be a dog fight," Kennedy told reporters on the sidelines of the Farnborough air show.
