On Tuesday, August 25th, 2026, the US House of Representatives voted to end the practice of changing clocks twice a year and to make daylight saving time permanent. This move aims to eliminate the biannual shift that has long been a source of debate across the country.
The United States has previously attempted to adopt permanent daylight saving time but reversed the decision shortly after. The controversy surrounding clock changes involves various factors, including health, energy consumption, and economic impacts.
Al Jazeera’s Noor Wazwaz highlights the complexity of the issue and explores what the next steps might be following the House vote.
