Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), one of the bill\u2019s co-sponsors, spoke to The Daily Wire about his support for the bill during a recent interview, noting that as a former football coach, the bill will help kids who participate in athletic programs after school.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf everything that I\u2019ve done since I\u2019ve been here, I\u2019ve had more feedback, positive feedback,\u201d Tuberville said. \u201cI mean, everybody wants longer days. They don\u2019t want it to turn dark at 4:30 and the kids have to come in the house, they have to put up with them longer, the kids can\u2019t stay out and play and practices and all that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after the \u201cSunshine Protection Act\u201d passed, Tuberville delivered remarks on the Senate floor praising the bill, which was originally sponsored by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI cannot overstate how grateful I am that this bill has passed this Chamber just a few minutes ago by Unanimous Consent,\u201d Tuberville said. \u201cIt\u2019s especially timely given that we all had to change our clocks this past weekend, and we are now experiencing longer, sunnier days. But it would be better news if longer, sunnier days were a new norm and not cause for a temporary, seasonal celebration. Which is why I hope my colleagues in the House of Representatives pass this bill quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince I joined Senator Rubio in the effort to pass the Sunshine Protection Act, the phones in my office have absolutely been ringing off the hook in support of permanently adopting Daylight Saving Time,\u201d he continued. \u201cMoms and dads who want some more daylight before putting the kids to bed, so dinner time doesn\u2019t feel like bedtime. Elderly people who want more sun in the evenings in order to take a walk, enjoy work in their yards. Farmers who could use the extra daylight to work in the fields \u2013 for them, it\u2019s a better business model and adds to the bottom line.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut it\u2019s not just people in the state of Alabama \u2013 Americans across the country want to make Daylight Saving Time permanent,\u201d he added. \u201cIn fact, it is worth noting this bill has bipartisan support \u2013 evidence by the fact it passed with no objection here in the Senate mere moments ago. It is no secret how rare that is here in this Chamber.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>This is a developing news story; refresh the page for updates.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
